Salina Bartley

Gastroenterology & Hepatology: Co-Chair

Hi everyone! We’re Salina and Rachel, third-year medical students running to be your next Co-Chairs of Gastro & Hep Society!

Between us, we bring a wide range of experience to the role.

We’ve had a range of roles across various university societies, gaining broad experience in leadership, coordination, and event delivery.

Some relevant experience include serving as Gastro Publicity Officer, contributing to a national teaching series subcommittee and a national surgical teaching series with the SUPTA committee, hosting a charity event with the Bengali Society, and supporting Obs & Gynae conferences as well as paediatric outreach at conference events.

Together, these experiences have enabled us to develop strong skills in organising, promoting, and delivering high-quality teaching and large-scale events.

If elected, we’d love to build on the society’s success with:

A regular JOURNAL CLUB to explore landmark and emerging gastroenterology research
A MENTORSHIP SCHEME linking pre-clinical and clinical students with senior students and doctors
An engaging ANNUAL CONFERENCE with inspiring speakers and practical workshops
A structured TUTORIAL SERIES for pre-clinical students, and continuation of the ICA/BSc support series
INTER-UNI EVENTS for example NATIONAL UNDERGRADUATE GASTROENTEROLOGY CONFERENCE.

We’re passionate about making Gastro & Hep more accessible, academic and welcoming for everyone and we’d love the opportunity to lead the society next year!
