Welfare and Student Support
| The LMSS committee is passionate about provide support for other medical students. On our committee we have a Welfare and Diversity Secretary who is there to ensure that our members always have someone there to listen and point them in the right direction. Whether it is an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on, the Welfare Rep has that covered. We also hold welfare events throughout the year, with the aim that everyone feels supported and knows they have people to turn to. On top of this, the LMSS are supporters of the BMA campaign ‘Know Mental Health’. Did you know around 30% of medical student suffer from mental health issues? Many of these students suffer in silence and don’t know where to turn for help. We encourage you to get in touch to get some support, see that you are not alone and be pointed in the right direction, with someone always there rooting for you. |

Headspace
Headspace is a meditation app like no other. It takes just a few minutes every day to improve your mindset, think more positive and overcome challenges in your life. Meditation is quickly becoming extremely popular and this app absolutely nails it. It costs £4.99 a month for both Spotify and headspace as student (both usually £9.99 each), so make the most of it. I can personally highly recommend the app to EVERYONE, whether you feel you need it or not. Sometimes in our busy lives, we all need to take a minute to calm down, get to know our own minds and improve our mindset for the challenges life has to offer. Visit https://www.headspace.com for more info or search for it on your App Store |
