Kaaviya Thayalan

Hi, my name is Kaaviya!

I am very interested in Obstetrics and Gynaecology and would love to be more involved with ICOGS.

Attending the ICOGS Annual Conference last year, allowed me to further develop my interest in this field, by hearing from accomplished speakers, and participating in workshops, which included hands-on training in episiotomy techniques and laparoscopic procedures.

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.

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 event.

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