Take a moment to remember that amidst the drive for excellence – in your studies, placements, research, and personal ambitions – you matter too.

It was an honour to celebrate their successes together with loved ones at a Prize Evening in November (link). In her welcome address, Dean of the School of Medicine Professor Hazel Scott noted,

”The challenges facing our national health service continue to be felt but through their tenacity and commitment, our students demonstrate the qualities that will serve them, and their patients, so well in the future, as they are indeed the bright future the NHS looks towards.”

Rounding off the year were big wins at the annual Guild Awards (link) where the School scooped up awards including Course Rep of the Year for Year Four Student Eric Dos Santos, Teacher of the Year for George Ampat and Biggest Impact on the City of Liverpool for President of Liverpool Humanitarian Society Year Four Student Jessica Lwin.

A busy social calendar

Celebrating this year’s standout Peer Mentors

The Peer Mentor Network plays a vital role in welcoming new student doctors into the School of Medicine community, offering academic guidance, support and encouragement, and a friendly face from day one. Each year, students are invited to nominate their mentors for recognition - and this year’s nominations were full of heartfelt praise.

Moments and Milestones of 2023-24

The academic year 2023-24 has been filled with a whole host of award achievements, society successes and team sports triumphs. From fascinating research to extra-curricular victories, our student doctors have made this year truly unforgettable.
