RUMS Review Vol. VIII Issue I - January 2023

Khadeejah

Welfare
Hey everyone! I’m Khadeejah, the
RUMS Welfare VP.
This term has been super exciting,
setting up a solid foundation for
the year ahead. The year started
with a bang with our incredibly
successful RUMS Mums&Dads
event – it was so lovely seeing
those family bonds at Mully’s and
IOE, continuing with the RUMS
tradition! We then, for the first
time, had our Medic Family
Tournament, which saw Govinder
and Zahra’s beautiful, growing
family take the win.
We’ve also introduced Kakes with
Khadeejah (a very popular
favourite) and regular Wellbeing
Wednesday stories. On top of that,
behind the scenes have been
working with staff from faculty to
look at things like providing and
improving support in Anatomy lab
rooms, smoothing the transition to
clinical years, and helping staff act
on student feedback.
We really wanted to do a family
Xmas quiz, but with the craziness
of term and the busy calendars it
wasn’t possible. BUT, we’d love to
do one in the new year! Also,
watch out for WELFARE WEEK -
from January 16th! No spoilers,
but expect the annual joys of
smoothies, paintings and lots of
little furry animals!
