I am thrilled to be a part of the Imperial Lifestyle Medicine and Prevention Society and would love to take on the role of Chair for 2026/7. I was events manager of the LMAP committee last year, and as LMAP chair, I would love to further strengthen partnerships with public health, sports and exercise medicine, nutrition and technology societies. It would be wonderful to have more LMAP mentorship opportunities, to empower students and establish an annual LMAP Summit. I would extend practical skills workshops focussed on behaviour change counselling and launch student-led LMAP research. I would develop partnerships with faculty and leading organisations to secure sponsorship, speaker access and institutional support, ensuring smooth event organisation and seamless committee function. I would lead with clarity, organisation and ambition, ensuring the society can expand its impact and inspire students to prioritise LMAP measures in their future clinical practice.
