Check out the agenda on the right - There's lots happening, here are some of the highlights:

  • Hear what Medsin's campaigns, projects and branches haveplanned for the new academic year. Find out how you can get involved.
  • Proposing policy statements and guidance statements to direct the Medsin network. Read previously passed policy statements here and guidance statements here.
  • Make changes to Medsin's Consitution and Bylaws. The current version is available here
  • Opportunity to network with branches and groups
  • Opportunity for training
  • Mini-meetings will be happening on issues that affect you- email the national committee for your ideas on mini-meetings
  • Opportunity to input into Medsin's first ever 10 year plan!

And…

Great Social and lots of fun and Medsin debauchery!

SO if you want to come, then email the registration form to agaregistration@medsin.org. Costs at the moment are £10 for the weekend (payable on Saturday morning), which includes two lunches and all resources.

There will be a Saturday night social (which is optional-pay on the day) but a lot of fun! Accommodation can also be arranged so let us know on the form.

We would like at least one person from each branch or activity, but the more the merrier!
