Report from HYMS student Dernas Suhail

Hull Medical Society Conference Bursary Recipient Report – Dernas Suhail, World Society of Reconstructive Microsurgery 2023

"I want to express my utmost gratitude to the Hull Medical Society for supporting my attendance at the World Society of Reconstructive Microsurgery 2023 (WSRM) in Singapore.

This widely acclaimed biennial conference is the largest meeting in the field of reconstructive microsurgery worldwide. Within a single day at WSRM, you can find yourself practicing microsurgical skills with the masters, listening to awe-inspiring talks of surgeons pushing the boundaries of the specialty, as well as foster several new and existing relationships with colleagues.

In addition to the above experiences, I had the phenomenal opportunity to give an oral presentation, as well as several poster presentations of my current research projects at this esteemed conference, which I am extremely grateful for.

Events such as this provide the platform to learn from, and meet with, leaders of the specialty, consequently inspiring new ideas and generating new knowledge. Hence, I believe the Hull Medical Society’s Student Conference Bursary is a marvellous initiative, as it helps students attend conferences such as WSRM, and therefore develop significant professional growth."

Congratulations to Dernas for winning this years' bursary and we wish you all the very best for the future!
