Obstetrics & Gynaecology: Conference Co-coordinator

Hey everyone! I’m Iqra, a second-year medical student, and I’m running to be YOUR O&G Society Conference Co-ordinator next year! 🫡🏼

Let's start with my experience:

1. MM Year 1 Co-ordinator πŸ“š

  • Coordinated 22 high-yield tutorials & 9 SBA tutorials (BRS & POM)
  • Led and supported a team of 6 tutors, collecting thorough feedback throughout
  • Lead the creation of a 2-hour POM mock
  • Developed strong leadership, organisation, and time-management skills, ensuring tutorials are well-run and inclusive

2. Head of Believe & Do Campaign πŸ’

  • Led a subcommittee delivering multiple community events over three weeks
  • Organised planting workshops at a primary school, a sign language workshop, children's trip to a trampoline park, visits to elderly care homes, and community garden clean-ups.
  • Strengthened my ability to manage logistics, conduct thorough risk assessments, and ensure that events are safe, inclusive, and well-run.

3. Charity Week Auction Dinner Subcommittee 🍽️

  • Contacted sponsors to secure donations and auction prizes
  • Developing my communication and coordination skills

My Vision 🀩:

If elected, I will:
βœ… Ensure seamless logistics and detailed pre-planning for the conference
βœ… Prioritise safety with thorough risk assessments
βœ… Introduce and arrange new, engaging, interactive workshops (like case-based and real-life simulations workshops)
βœ… Work closely with the team to deliver an inspiring, well-run conference

I’m organised, proactive, and passionate about O&G - a beautiful speciality that perfectly blends medicine and surgery, continuity of care with high-intensity moments!

I would love the opportunity to make next year’s conference the BEST one yet!✨
