3. Officers’ Reports:

President: DariushHassanzadeh-Baboli

·Varsity: Many had fun. Huge shame about the way Sport Imperial and staff conducted themselves. Disgraceful behaviour! Advised the Women’s club captain on how to approach the situation. As far as I can tell it is being investigated by College.

·Finalised details for Affirmation. Sent 1st payment through. 570 tickets sold. Currently limiting to 3 per person. Will open up in a week or so.

·Attended Health Education Meeting with regards to moving the point of GMC full registration to the end of medical school. Overall consensus from many professionals in attendance that it should not change. Will see if our views were listened to. A report will be presented to the incoming government in a few months.

·Helping Med and Guggs with admin for Sports Dinner

·In 2 weeks’ time I will be on my pseudo-elective in Barbados! YAY!!!

Deputy President: Anju George

  • Organised Easter Egg Foodbank at Reynolds 16-22/3 with help of Mala
  • OrganisedCentralised Mock OSCE Booking system with help of Salma & Dina
  • Attended GMC & Health Education England Discussion Forum on Point of Registration with Dariush & Dina 17/3
  • Gave a talk to prospective medical students on ‘The Medical School interview’ at Merchant Taylors’ School 18/3

Treasurer: Alex Compton

  • Took sports dinner tickets offline after securing two for myself :)
  • Helped Anju with elective award annual expenses guidance for faculty
  • Organised Rhys and Dariush to bank RAG money
  • Attended budgeting appeals meeting- overall pretty successful for our two clubs that appealed
  • Attended Ents meeting for next year's team- arts dinner date will be decided after my exams
  • Started looking at women's hockey restructure- postponed til after exams
  • Planned handovers for after exams
  • Finishing up SU finance doc- postponed til after exams (I see a theme here). If anyone has any regular expenses that have cropped up let me know so they can go on my master spreadsheet
  • Had a long discussion with lawyer parents over sale of Teddington- postponed til after exams but would like to work with locals with their campaign over its sale. They've successfully put pressure on the right people within local council etc- we should be supporting this. Need to acquire original contracts etc as parents may have identified a hole. Given Sport Imperial is fully owned by college and after it's appalling behaviour at Varsity I would like to back the felix article and pressure college into asking for a proper apology/work with next year's ACC chair and DPCS to pressure them into being more student orientated. 20k sponsorship for varsity and all I got was an average tshirt…
  • Life restarts after exams. My arm may have dropped off by Friday due to sheer amount of notes writing
  • Started taking painkillers to numb the pain every time I try to write- someone diagnose me and write me a prescription for something stronger than ibuprofen. Otherwise a massage might help…
  • I'm going to be very unhelpful til after exams. If it's very important text me or I'll forget
  • If anyone wants to undergo a bit of plastic surgery and then take my exams for me that would be fabulous
  • Please feel free to send me the occasional joke/funny comment over the next few weeks as I'm definitely developing schizophrenia due to my lack of human contact

Secretary: Dina Saleh

  • Elected to be Deputy President 2015-16 woop
  • Normal newsletter/emails etc..should probably update calendar

  • Sent out halfway dinner email – committee has now been chosen
  • Attended GMC & Health Education England Discussion Forum on Point of Registration with Dariush and Anju last week.

Academic Officer (Science Years): CyinSan

General

oHave started practical handover with my successor Saloni i.e. have invited her to SSLGs/ECs + kept her in the loop of recent developments (though tbh both my Rep teams have been invited to keep in touch with each other’s issues over the year, esp. BMS -> BSc issues)

oEmail to be sent on Thurs or Fri to Ana and Chris to congratulate them on their appointment on behalf of both my Rep teams, and especially to welcome them as the incoming Course Leads for BMS

-BMS

o2 post-Science Fair BSc talks (one by me as general overview of BSc year + Part C, one by BMSoc going through each Parts A/B pathway from student presentations) + BMSoc Careers event held successfully. Students found Part C talk particularly useful as there’s very little Part C info in previous years – have AP’dSaloni to support/host the same events next year + look into expanding to Y3 MBBS students

oMedical Humanities taster session was held in collaboration with #MedHummus students and Giskin Day, #MedHummus Course Leader on Mon 23rd based on student demand; initial feedback appears to be very positive and have AP’dSaloni into hosting the same next year + look into expanding to cover DAL and allow MBBS students to take part

oSorting out issues relating to feedback for Y1 Neuro, Y2 Globo modules with course leads; latter to be raised formally with FEO on Weds due to lack of engagement from course leads

oNSS is underway; have passed 50% mark according to Chris Harris but hope to match or beat the Y6 medics

oApparently my Reps like each other so much that 2 of them has became a couple

-BSc pathways

  • SSLG on Weds 25th to report on Rep Reports and Exam Reports; summary: generally very positive across all pathways with little exam concerns
  • Been working with Nicole to resolve feedback issues relating to Neuro, Immuno and Repro; first two aspects now resolved, third remains outstanding as Repro course leads can’t reach their M3 leads and issue has been raised formally with Nicole who I believe has passed it onto Alison
  • Have asked for a proper investigation into the issues regarding organization and communication for Immuno, which has generally be subpar over the past year
  • Projects survey expected to go out on Weds or Thurs; feedback from #MedHummus and #DALings appear very positive
  • Been working with specialist course leads (particularly Giskin) to identify key issues and questions arising from the new BSc plans; Giskin will be presenting new BSc details and curriculum on Weds 25th SSLG
  • Viva and resit arrangements have been confirmed with Exam Office; plan to discuss how best to communicate this to students at the pre-SSLG meeting on Weds 25th
