Hari Prabhu

Hello everyone! I’m Hari, a second year medic running for Oncology Society Palliative Care Officer.

I believe I am well suited to the role, having developed my communication, teamworking and organisation skills in my role as deputy BMA rep this year. I also took part in the Young Enterprise scheme, where I developed my leadership skills and led my team to win best Journey Award at the South London finals.

I’ve always been interested in oncology and palliative care, and how the treatments for curative and palliative chemotherapy can subtly differ. I am passionate about palliative care as it can transform lives. It allows people to maintain their dignity and respect, improving their quality of life, and minimising their suffering. Joining oncology society would give me a great opportunity to network with like-minded people, and I would love to contribute to education and raising awareness around the importance of palliative care research.

I will aspire to foster a strong learning and collaborative environment both within and out of the society. I strongly believe in giving my all to any responsibilities that I have, and being palliative care officer for oncology society is no different. In my role as palliative care officer, I would ensure collaborate with other societies and professionals to help organise talks around palliative care. I would also help provide networking opportunities with palliative care doctors during the annual oncology conference, so vote me for Oncology Society Palliative Care Officer!

Thank you very much for your support!
