General Practice (ICSM): Publicity Officer

Hi, my name is Kaaviya!

I am very interested in General Practice and would love to be more involved with this society!

As the current Publicity Officer in Imperial General Practice Society and Secretary in Dermatology Society, I have developed great communication, organisational and time management skills, assisting with both smaller scale events, and flagship events, so I am well accustomed to the intricate planning involved, when delivering a successful conference. As Marketing Head in TSOC last year, I regularly created posts on Canva, formulated captions and edited videos to promote our events via all platforms. This year, I have been responsible for GP Society’s Instagram page, solely managing the feed.

As the current treasurer for ICOGS, I have been responsible for liaising with the Events & Social Officer, President and Conference Co-Chairs, continually updating the annual budget and approving small claims throughout the year. During our annual conference, I was responsible for a group of delegates, ensuring the day was enjoyable, informative and ran smoothly. Furthermore, I liaised with Paediatric Society’s Sponsorship Officer, and successfully gained a sponsor for ICOGS.

With this varied experience, I believe I am well equipped to complete this role to an excellent standard next year.
