We hosted the first Celebrating Excellence Event in SSCs for year 3 medical students over two days: 14th and 15th July. There were 8 sessions in total and the standard of presentations was excellent. Students demonstrated a great depth of work in a whole range of areas with many important findings that have the potential for publication and changes in clinical practice.
Thank you to all students who engaged fully with this event and all supporting academics and visitors who came to see the work our medical students have completed during their SSC period.
The 12 posters with the highest percentage of votes from their sessions have qualified for the oral presentation session.
