About Us
Welcome to the Surgical Scousers!
We're delighted to have you and hope that the society can pique your interest in the fantastic career of surgery.
We play host to many aspects including but not limited to: -
Teaching
Lectures that explore topics of surgical interest, anatomy and career development.
We also participate, in conjunction with the LMSS, a Surgery for Finals revision day.
Basic Surgical Skills Workshops:
We hold 2 hour basic surgical skills workshops with a high student:teacher ratio of 2:1 we are the most popular surgical skills teaching at the University of Liverpool. Students are taught by surgical trainees to ensure the most accurate skills taught to Royal College standards.
Advanced Surgical Skills Workshops:
Learn more advance suturing techniques, often on real animal tissue.
As with the basic surgical skills workshops, there is a high student:teacher ratio of 2:1 and students are taught by surgical trainees.
Conferences:
Annual International Undergraduate and Foundation Surgical Conference
Surgical skills workshops, keynote speakers and poster and oral presentation opportunities.
Annual Women in Surgery Conference
Insight, stories and advice on how to optimise work life balance and reach your career goals in the competitive world of surgery as a woman.
Mentoring Scheme:
We are lucky enough to work in conjunction with the Mersey Core Surgical Mentoring Scheme (MCSMS).
You will be linked with a surgical trainee with the same specialist interest as you to guide you through portfolio building and how to get ahead.
Community:
We aren't all about academia! We are a tight nit community who offer advice and mentorship amongst our members.
Surgical Scousers are about trying to lift each other up to do better and to enjoy our time at medical school, making the most of the experience!
Come along to any of our events to have a chat with us - we'd love for you to get involved!
Collaboration
We're always keen to network both at home and nationally, so please get in touch if your society would like to collaborate.
Surgical Trainees
We're always on the look out for surgical trainees or doctors to aid with our workshops, teaching etc. so please get in touch via any social media or email
