Medicine (UG): Medical Biosciences - Year Two Wellbeing Representative

Hiya, I'm Arwa and I'm so excited to be running for your Wellbeing Rep!

It's second year and everyone seems to have it figured out. That's not the case, and nobody talks about it. I want to change that.

I've been there. I've struggled with workload, balance and my own mindset, and I've had to go through the welfare team myself. Asking for help felt awkward at first, but it was worth it. Now I know who to go to and how it all works, so you don't have to waste time figuring it out.

I'm a very empathetic person. At my last school I worked with charities and mentored younger students.

My plans as your rep:

  • Here if you ever want to talk. Message me anytime about anything. I'll keep it confidential unless someone's safety is at risk.
  • Supporting you. Counselling, hardship funds, welfare officers. I'll point you to who to contact.
  • Your feedback will get heard. Feedback is a huge thing in BMB. Workload, attendance, staff, the union: I'll take it to the right people.
  • Events are for everyone and anyone. Introvert or extrovert, there'll be something: coffee hops, study socials, picnics, puppy yoga, pub crawls and club nights.
  • Mix the years. Events across years 1-3, plus a quick poll so what I run matches what you'd go to.

You don't have to struggle alone, and that's what I'm here for.
