A warm welcome from Dr Umakanth Kempanna

President of the Hull Medical Society 2024-2025

Hello, my name is Umakanth, and I am a Consultant Anaesthetist at NHS Humber Health Partnership (Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust). I am also the Deputy Dean for Foundation Directorate in the NHSE, Yorkshire & Humber.

The Hull Medical Society is a local charity that focuses on advancing medical science, health and wellbeing (through our lectures and bursaries) and promoting camaraderie (through our socials and networking opportunities).

The themes I have chosen for our programme this year are those that impact everyone including Medical Students, Doctors, Allied Healthcare Professionals and any office based staff – Mental health, Communication techniques, Wellbeing, Interview and examination skills, Financial and Legal knowledge relevant to healthcare.

Membership is free for students and junior doctors. Please feel free to come and say hello at our events this year. Your feedback is valuable to improve our engagements and breadth of topics we cover in the future.

What Our Members Say

“I am very grateful to Hull Medical Society for supporting my attendance at the Society for Cardiothoracic Surgery 2019 meeting and allowing me to present my experience and research at the April meeting. 

It is a fantastic initiative which encourages students to attend national conferences and meetings in order to develop their portfolio and expand their views and knowledge."
Vassili Crispi
2019 bursary winner
“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
"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.”
