BMA Students Conference 2024

A great 2 days setting new policies for BMA MSC to work on for the future 👏

Very excited to be at Medical Students' Conference this weekend as a Queen's University Belfast 🎓 delegate!

With many challenges facing medical students and our doctor colleagues, it is more important than ever that we stand strong together as a union

Looking forward to collaborating with peers! BMA Students

Honoured to be a BMA Students guest running a #Medstudentconf workshop on LGBTQ+ issues in health curricula

We discussed ways of advocating for inclusion acknowledging trauma and risk, but also joy, vulnerability and love

Med students must be empowered to be agents of change

'The fate of medical students, and the future of our profession, hangs in the balance.'

Our MSC co-chairs Shivani 🍉 Chinelo address #MedStudentConf on how we can make change together.

Welcome to all medical students joining us for the #MedStudentConf today. We can't wait to meet you!

One of the strongest Trade Unions in UK & we've got more to do for Med Students in the future!

Happy National Doctors day!

Also celebrating our doctors of the future who are studying hard with commitment and dedication to enter the profession!

What are your thoughts?
