Undergraduate 2nd Year Anatomy 2010


Teaching sessions conducted by your peers (current senior medical students) who know exactly what is expected from you in both your weekly practicals and your end of year examinations. These sessions will be based on the dissection topic for the Thursday/Friday for the week they are conducted in.

Topic: Topics to be announced at the start of term.

Note: These sessions are designed to run in parallel with the SF1 course and as an adjunct to your own private study, not a replacement, therefore background reading prior to the sessions is expected to aid your understanding. Our aims are to consolidate your prior knowledge, to develop the information acquired from your own reading and to be available to answer any questions that may arise from this study. It is simply not possible to cover everything you need to know in the time dedicated for each session!

This session is specifically geared towards first year students . However, as always, all SCRUBS members from any year are invited!

Date: Sessions will resume in the new academic year
Venue: Meet in B128, Medical School, Queens Medical Centre

SCRUBS at Medlink


Date: 16th December 2009

For the 3rd year running, Scrubs was happy to assist The Royal College of Surgeons in teaching prospective medical students the basics of suturing. The College had set up a stall for the Biannual Medlink conference, where thousands of hopeful medics descend upon Nottingham to get a taster of life as a medical student.

The stall itself consisted of a couple of fake lacerated arms, some skin pads and hundreds of sutures. It did not take long for the students to realise that the stall was the most hands on and practical table in the conference centre, and so after 5 minutes of the doors opening, the stall was surrounded by a small crowd of budding surgeons.

The Scrubs committee engaged these eager students, talking them through the basics of suturing before letting them repair the wound. What was particularly enjoyable was hearing the students delight at successfully completing their first suture, with countless of them taking photos of their handiwork. We hope that we encouraged many students to pursue a medical career, and hopefully planted the seed of surgery into their minds.

Scrubs would like to thank Jane Roberts and the other members of The Royal College of Surgeons involved in the conference, as it was and excellent teaching opportunity for the Scrubs committee.
