This month we welcome our Year One and Two Student Doctors back to campus as we enjoy the pleasant weather and bright evenings. Let’s see whose month was made even brighter with a commendation for something particularly exceptional in April.
Commendations are a great way of providing positive feedback to the hard-working individuals at the School of Medicine. Whether it's related to their actions on placement, during teaching or in extracurricular activities. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to nominate.
