I'm Sian, the social media secretary this year! I'm in fourth year and my favourite wilderness memory is advanced weekend last year, especially the search and rescue with amazing views when we found the patient.

Our other social secretary this year is 2nd year medical student Emily. Her highlight of the wilderness year was torturing the older years as a simulated patient in advanced weekend!

20/11/2023

Carrying on with our meet the committee posts, one of our social secretaries this year is Emily! She's in 5th year, and this is what she had to say:
"I have loved joining wilderness medicine to meet like-minded people and learn about the endless opportunities medicine can bring. Favourite wilderness memory - search and rescue at night in the rain to find a simulated casualty covered in “vomit” (tinned soup)!"
