BL Urology Society and KCL Urology Society have teamed up to bring you one of the must-attend events of 2019. Please head to BL’s Royal London Campus to hear from some of the greatest minds in urology, who will tell you what it’s like to pursue a career in the field, how to become a surgeon, and why urology is the biggest advocate of robotics in surgery.

The evening will consist of 4 short talks by surgeons in different subspecialties, ranging from stones to cancer and robotics. To top it all off, 2 surgical trainees will be providing some top tips on applying for a competitive surgical career, plus how and why to become an academic surgeon. Come along, listen, chat and learn why urology is the career for you.

This event is aimed at medical students of all stages and foundation year doctors who have yet to make up their mind whether urology is the career for them.

The Missing Med School Lectures

WED 26 JUNE 2019, 9.30AM- 4.30PM Queen Mary University London is hosting a free conference (lunch provided) at the Derek Willoughby Theatre, Charterhouse Square, EC1M 6BQ. There is an increasing evidence base of the benefits of plant based eating for CVD, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity and more. Equally, animal agriculture is seen as the biggest ‘elephant in the room’ at most global depletion network meetings worldwide, as the evidence of impact is now undeniable. Finally, as we evolve as a species, our responsibilities in the treatment of other species as a means to human ends is ever more questioned.

This exciting free conference looks at health, social justice and environmental issues around animal use. QMUL cordially invites you to join this intelligent and lively debate, providing an opportunity to pose questions you always wanted answered to our very distinguished panel of Lawyers, Medics, Ecologists and Nutritionists.

Tales of BL: Second Episode Release

Hello,

We wanted to share with you the second episode of Tales of BL, focused on 'The Tale of The Whitechapel Library', and touching on everything from Florence Nightingale to the Spanish Flu. It is at our standard five-minute episode length and available here for your viewing pleasure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soeJcz-jd2Q

Our next episode will remain in Whitechapel in the Garrod basement, before we move to Barts for the next couple of episodes.

If you have any feedback on how we might improve, or if you would like to be involved in a future episode with a story you have to tell, we would very much welcome your input. Although, please bear in mind that while we are aware of some ongoing audio and video issues, these will be difficult to fix as we cannot afford equipment beyond our phones!

Please give the video a like if you enjoy it, and share it with any others who you feel might be interested. Have a lovely weekend.

Kind regards,

Rakin & Mohsin
