SECRETARY Hello Freshers and FUTURE DOCTORS! First of all, I’d like to congratulate each and every one of you for getting a place to study medicine in what is undoubtedly one of the best cities in the world, LIVERPOOL! You have done ridiculously well to get here and should be so proud of yourselves. A huge welcome to what will inevitably be the best five/six years of your life. I’m Charly and I am your LMSS secretary for the coming year. I’m going into my 6 th year of university having intercalated in Humanitarian Studies last year at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine. My job is to ensure that the inner workings of the society run as smoothly as possible and to oversee the rest of the committee (who are absolutely FAB this year, you couldn’t wish to meet a bunch of friendlier people). I’m also here to lend a helping hand to whoever may need it, to ensure you get the most out of your time in Liverpool! I know that moving away from home to university is a daunting experience and that is why I want you to know that through the LMSS you already have a whole new set of friends, who can’t wait to meet you in September!

The LMSS has given me some of the best teaching I have received in my whole time at Liverpool, provided me with brilliant socials and friends for life. You’re going to be receiving a lot of advice before you come to Liverpool but the one piece of advice I’d love you to listen to is:
