Medicine (UG): Phase 1b Wellbeing Representative

Hi everyone 🥰!

I hope you are doing WELL! (get it?-wellbeing?)

My name is Joanna and I’m excited to be applying for the role of your Wellbeing Representative.

As medical students at Imperial, it is not atypical to be faced with intense academic pressures and fast-paced demands. This reality however doesn’t mean our wellbeing should be compromised in the process. I want to be the voice championing your wellbeing throughout our student experience so we can all thrive and achieve our goals. I’m passionate about creating this inclusive and supportive environment where everyone feels heard. And I believe with your vote, we can make this happen.

Med school’s intense but your wellbeing doesn’t have to suffer. I’ll bring empathy, energy, and real action to help ease stress and build a stronger support system. I believe my approachable nature as well as organisation means I can make a real difference- from open conversations to wellbeing events, I’ve got your back! My approaches for this year include:

  • Clearer signposting of wellbeing resources
  • Partnering with societies to promote wellbeing activities
  • Organise regular wellbeing workshops
  • Expand peer support networks
  • More access to counselling services
  • And most importantly, a shoulder to cry on and a listening ear!

Thank you for taking the time to consider me to be your wellbeing rep- I'm excited to work with you this year to make change!

Your wellbeing should be WELL-looked after (there- I did it again!)

VOTE FOR ME PLEASEEEEE!ðŸ«
