It includes information about the week ahead such as what events are on and any other important announcements. But this is where we record how those events actually went!

Join us on Monday 10th December at 17:30, room 3.06, Garrod Building for a casual discussion and Q&A about oncology as a specialty and popular field of research!
Our speaker Dr. Helen Hockings completed her undergraduate medical degree in Cambridge and is half way through her medical oncology training, currently taking 3 years out to pursue a PhD at our lovely Barts Cancer Institute.
Come learn all about this promising field of medicine and how to get into it! Freebies for those who come. No strings attached.
I’m Abhishek, one of the FY2s at Southend. I’m working with some other junior doctors to introduce a weekly set of MCQs to help with revision on useful topics in your own time. 15 questions each week (with answers and explanations) targeted towards finals revision but may be of use to all clinical years.
We will be guided by you as to what's helpful so please let us know if there's any topics you'd like to cover. Also included is opportunity to ask questions about anything that doesn't make sense, which we respond to every week.
At our medical school, some of the FY1s organised weekly sessions for the final years which were helpful, but very time consuming and could be inconvenient to get to. This is why I wanted to do the same for you all but with much greater flexibility and with the chance to ask questions without feeling judged!
We're using a whatsapp group to send out the link to each weeks' MCQs and to answer any questions we receive - use the link below to sign up and please feel free to share all these resources amongst you.

Dear Barts Students,
One of the largest issues facing the national health sector today is the rise of malnutrition based morbidities, most commonly obesity and diabetes. In 2013, approximately 3.2 million people were diagnosed with diabetes in the UK alone. Obesity in the UK has increased from 15% in 1997 to 27% in 2015. The responsibility of correctly advising patients is primarily that of medical doctors and healthcare professionals. However, as medical students and doctors, we have identified that nutritional based teaching is lacking in the medical course.
For this reason, we are undertaking a research project with the aim of assessing what the level of nutritional based knowledge held by medical students is in London universities.
Below is a link to a short questionnaire which contains some questions aimed at assessing how much you know about nutrition. We would be grateful if you could take a few minutes to complete it. All the data is anonymised with only researchers involved in the study having access to the results.
This study is intended to be completed by medical students second year and above only
