Plastic Surgery: Social Media / Publicity Officer

Hi, I’m Ying, and I’m excited to run for publicity officer.

In plastic surgery, we often speak about restoring form and function – but ultimately, we help shape identity. My vision is to build both a sustained following and a strong, recognisable identity for iPRAS at Imperial.

Publicity should not only promote events – it should cultivate community and establish a clear presence for iPRAS on campus.

Through my experience as Events Officer at Malaysia Medics International and involvement in operations for our 11th Annual Summit, I have seen first-hand how strategic promotion and clear branding directly influence engagement and turnout. After building a foodie presence on TikTok, I have gained practical experience in content creation, audience growth, and understanding social media engagement — skills I would apply to strengthen and shape iPRAS’s online identity.



My vision :

  • Developing a cohesive and professional visual identity so that iPRAS content is instantly recognisable
  • Introducing consistent content series to maintain engagement beyond flagship events, including:
    • Meet the Committee
    • Meet the Surgeon
    • Plastics Spotlight
  • Tailoring content to different year groups – from introductory material for pre-clinical students to portfolio and career-focused content for senior students – ensuring relevance across all stages of medical school.
  • Analysing post-performance insights to refine strategy and continuously grow iPRAS’s online presence.
  • Promotion of sponsor products to aid in maintaining sponsor relations

As Publicity Officer, I want iPRAS to be more than a compilation of conferences — I want it to be a visible, respected and welcoming presence on campus.
