PRESIDENT Hello you lucky lucky people, congratulations on getting into the finest medical school around. Prepare yourself for the most exciting 5 years of your life! I’m Hamish, your President of the Liverpool Medical Student Societies (LMSS), and I’m here to make sure you get the most out of your first year. All the hard work you have put in has finally paid off, and in return you get to sit back, relax and enjoy the next 5 years of uni (okay, you do have to do some work). The LMSS is the oldest medical school society in the UK, founded in 1874, it is 145 years old and still going strong. This society will be at the centre of your social, academic and religious calendar so make sure your mum packs you a brand spanking new Liverpool FC calendar so you don’t miss a thing. When you join the LMSS you will become one of over a 1000 active members in a caring and supportive family of students and university staff. The LMSS is your voice as a medic and we work closely with the University to make sure you get the most out of your Liverpool experience. We will buddy you up with second years, who have just done what you’re about to do, so they can guide you through your first year here. Your mentors are there to answer any questions and offer academic support. Our academic rep with also be putting on revision sessions to support you when exam panic sets in. But don’t worry academia isn’t the only thing we as a society are good at… Hamish Baxter, 6th year The LMSS offers more social events this coming year than you have fingers (don’t worry, you’ll learn about them in your anatomy classes). Our hugely talented committee have put a calendar together so tantalisingly tasty, your salivary glands won’t know what hit them. My job as President is to liaise with the Dean and the rest of the University, ensure everything runs smoothly and answer any questions you have. I would absolutely recommend getting involved in the LMSS, it’s all here for you to enjoy. I can’t wait to meet you all in September!!! Don’t be shy... Hamish x Email: [email protected] 3
