Arzeen Khan

Hello everyone, I’m Arzeen Khan. Through various surgical attachments and my role as Fresher Representative for Surgical Society, I have developed a strong interest in surgery alongside practical experience in conference organisation. I promoted Surgical Society events, including the Orthopaedics Conference and Plastics Skills Day, while serving as a group lead to ensure their smooth delivery. As Speaker Representative for Cardiovascular Society, I arranged most of the speakers and panellists and coordinated the workshops, contributing to a successful event. Together, these experiences have equipped me with the organisational, leadership, and coordination skills essential to successfully leading a conference next year as General Executive.

I understand what works, what should be better, and most importantly I am able to liaise with the students to identify their needs. If elected, I will:

1. Launch a structured suturing series, beginning with a free taster session to attract students who may be interested in surgery, which will increase participation in our conference.
2. Re-introduce the mentorship programme, connecting you with registrars for potential research opportunities and tailored guidance on navigating the competitive surgical pathway.
3. Expand conference accessibility and collaboration by formally inviting sixth form students and external universities to our conferences.
4. Create a centralised surgical events calendar so you never miss valuable opportunities.
5. Act on your feedback, e.g. extending workshop time to allow deeper understanding of demonstrations and more meaningful hands-on practice.

If you want a General Executive who is experienced, proactive, and focused on delivering real improvements, you need to vote for Arzeen Khan.
