A real mixed bag of a month.
National Medsin Wise:
My Medsin Highlight was getting to run a workshop at the National Coference on 'Selling Yourself' - fundraising and building your case for support. It was a real challenge, but I feel it went well, and in keeping with the entire National Conference in Nottingham, I had a wonderful time. The conference was brilliant, inspiring me to rethink what population would I as a doctor in the future like to treat.
Otherwise in Medsin I have been trying to manage the SWGs - Membership and Charity Status - but I haven't made any real progress in either department. This was particularly evident when I realised I had over four members of Membership ask explicitly for me to provide more guidance to the group. So really this is an entry to emphasise I need to work more on the SWG.
I have been updating a creating a FR resource pack, and have been gradually adding to the online pack.
General tasks: Chasing up sponsorship money, answering emails on how to FR, investigating possible national FR methods, and crawl my way out of the the emails that I hae let build up.
In Brighton: I have just started up a local branch of GHEP and am getting fanstatic support from BSMS. Have fantastic local Medsin committee and am really excited for the some of our upcoming events and plans.
Non-Medsin:
I got to go to Powershift - which was amazing, and oddly very emotional.
I am pipetting away in the lab most days, and am happy to say I have had some good results and will soon be able to start write up my research project.
Sleeping, sleeping, sleeping - as I keep getting ill - and avoiding people and social activities as I recover - very boring.
Hoping the next month will be slightly brighter.
