Oluchi Akosa

Hello everyone,

I'm Oluchi, and I'm running to be your Neuro Conference Chair. I've always been super passionate about neuro - both clinically and through actively pursuing research opportunities. Having attended the conference before, I've seen firsthand how impactful it can be. Now I want to lead it and make it even better.

Alongside passion, I bring experience. This year, as ICSMSU Academic Officer for Early Years, I organised the ICSMSU CPA Mocks in collaboration with 4 other societies, delivering a large-scale event for almost 300 students. I've also supported conferences, including being a Personnel Officer at the MWF International Women in Surgery Conference and as a Workshop Lead at the 2025 Pyschiatry Society Conference. As the current Neuro Society Publicity Officer, I understand how to engage students and build interest. Together, these roles have given me a diverse and practical skilllset in leadership, logistics, teamwork and communication.

If elected, I plan to:

• Ensure every delegate has a smooth experience, from registration to closing remarks
• Broaden the scope of talks including topics like neurotechnology and explore neuro-subspecialities
• Prioritise meaningful networking opportunities so connections with speakers can become long-term mentorships
• Deliver interactive workshops, including practical guidance on pursuing clinical and academic careers in neuro
• Spark interest in the conference early on in the year through consistent promotion, teaser content and pre-conference engagement to ensure students feel invested in the event

My vision is simple: deliver a seamless, diverse and inspiring conference. Vote me for Conference Chair!
