Hello and Welcome to Kings College London and the famous Guy's, King's and St.Thomas' (GKT) Hospitals School of Medicine and Health Sciences - The finest hospitals in the land. First and foremost we would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your recent exam success and for making it into medical/health school, be proud of yourself, you have a great things ahead of you.
My name is Becky Samuels and I am the MedSoc President, along with my committee we're here to ensure that you have extraordinary amounts of fun and to point you in the right direction if things go a little astray. First of all time to dispell a common misconception, MedSoc (despite the misleading name) is not just for medical students, we are here for all Guy's students! We run the major events for the medical and health schools and represent your views to the college and to KCLSU. So, make sure everyone knows that we're here for everyone, the more the merrier we say, you can even bring those Strandies along if you want to.
If there is one point we'd like to stress more than any other it's ENJOY YOURSELF, exams aren't until May so bring plenty of fancy dress and a sense of humour and we can guarantee you'll get the most out of you time at GKT. Guy's is renowned for its community spirit and so to get you kick started and integrated in we have some great events planned for freshers week. MedSoc freshers events are your best opportunity to meet your future friends and colleagues and talk to the older years about your time ahead. This year we are introducing a discount scheme which, for a small fee, gets you into every single event all year round for discounted rates, it's well worth getting so buy it when you buy your events tickets to start saving money immediately.
So that just leaves me to say, enjoy the guide to Medical and Health School, try to come along to all of the events and I look forward to meeting you all in September.
