Old Library, Garrod Building
About this event

Our Guest Speakers:

  • Ms Angela Lam (Paediatric Surgical Registrar & MedTech Innovator)
  • Ms Amina Bouhelal (General & Breast Surgery Consultant)

We are honoured to have two incredible surgeons share their wisdom with us!

Event info:

After brief intros, we'll have a 30 min open Q&A, so bring all your burning questions. Ask anything (or pull from our question bowl if you’re shy).

We’ll dive into real issues: why surgery, work-life balance, burnout, and what it really takes to thrive in surgery and explore practical solutions together.

Laid-back, inspiring, and refreshingly real ... this is the conversation every future surgeon needs.

After the session, we'll move to the lab for a FREE plastering workshop!! (Attendance at the talk is *mandatory* for entrance to the workshop).

Grab your ticket from our page: https://www.qmsu.org/groups/surgical/

Bonus info:

  • Certificates awarded to those who attend at least 3 of the 4 talks over the year
