PodMedics
Dear Students,
Podmedics.com is a website that provides free podcasts (recorded video lectures) to undergraduate medical students throughout the world - but mostly in the UK. Nearly all of our podcasts are video, and consist of quick overviews of key topics in medicine, surgery and all the clinical specialties. Run by medical students and junior doctors we aim to give students quick overview of complex topics that make their experiences both in the hospital and the lecture theatre more meaningful and, ultimately, more memorable.

Kind regards,
Dr. Ed Wallitt

The Results Are In!
It is a pleasure to announce that the newly elected Medical Society Honorary President is Mr John Rochester. He takes on the role for the next twelve months and I know that he will support us as well as our other honorary members have done in the past.
Our 2010/11 charity will be the Yorkshire Air Ambulance - and all of MedSoc's charitable fundrasing will now be for this fantastic cause. We hope that you will be able to help us to help them in the outstanding job that they do for the people of Yorkshire. Watch out for charity fundraisers throughout the coming year and, of course, Charity Week 2010!
A massive thank-you to the 400+ students who voted in this process and to those who nominated our Honorary President candidates and several amazing local charities.
Should anyone have any questions about the nomination/election process - drop me a line at: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Peer Teaching Evaluation
Hi Everyone!
We have a favour to ask of you all...
The Peer Teaching Society are evaluating their progress and need to find out what all of you think for this to be of any value. We have been running for over 2 years now and plan to make changes to the way things are run this year so that everyone who teaches with us has the experience they hoped for. We have ideas of what needs changing, but it's your opinion that matters and we want to make a society which is genuinely helpful for those who take part in it. So please PLEASE take a couple of minutes to fill out the short questionnaire (which is for both people who have taught with AND those who have been taught by the Peer Teaching Society).
This questionnaire has ethical approval and there is a participant information sheet on Minerva which explains how we will use the information. Everything will be kept completely anonymous, so feel free to say exactly what you think! BMedSci students will have to access the questionnaire on the home page of the phase they will be going back into in August. The questionnaire is under the 'latest formative assessments' section (scroll down the home page, it's below 'other news'.
Thank you very much in advance,
Peer Teaching Society

Message For All MedSoc Societies
Hello,
Please could you get your outstanding forms to me ASAP, especially the contract and risk assessment. I'll put another call out for outstanding finance request forms later in the year when funds are given out. Could you pop them in the tray in the Medsoc office. Also, don't forgot the generic 'blurb' I was after at the meeting for the noticeboards/freshwing/website.
Thanks all,
Lizzie
Medsoc Societies Rep 2010/2011
