“Hull Medical Society have supported me so I could run a medical education project for students.
They have welcomed medical and physician associate students, providing a platform for them to give presentations at their meetings.
I am very grateful for their support and look forward to working with them as a junior doctor.”
Dr Alexandra Abel
Resident Doctor
"Membership of the medical society has made it easier for me to work more effectively through better relationships with colleagues who are there for me when I am not sure how to manage a particular problem.
Usually if one of my colleagues can’t help directly they will know the best person to approach. Meeting socially builds trust and makes it easier to approach colleagues for advice.”
Dr Patrick Naughton-Doe
GP, Past Treasurer & Honorary Secretary of Hull Medical Society (2024-2025)
