Welcome to Galenicals Welfare!
Galenicals Welfare runs a variety of programmes throughout the year to help with recurrent issues; these include Mum’s and Dad’s (pastoral care for freshers by second year students), Year and Academy Rep System (see below) and the Tutoring Scheme (peer-support for students re-sitting exams). This year we’re hoping to run a peer mentoring service in conjunction with the Student Advice service to offer ongoing and personalised support when required/for those in need of a little extra.
Representing the student body:
Galenicals members elect year and academy representatives in addition to the main committee. Your welfare reps will be meeting regularly with these reps to ensure that your concerns are heard by the medical school. We also represent the clinical years at monthly meetings with the Academy managers; these are an opportunity to communicate any issues that you might have regarding the academies – so please pass on your views. (email welfare@galenicals.org.uk or your academy rep).

Your Vice Presidents/Welfare Reps
As your welfare reps, we’re here to provide an ear for any worries you might have while at university, whether personal or academic, to help you as far as we are able and to put you in touch with those who can help further. We’ll also be working closely with Ros Forge, the student adviser to ensure that Galenicals supports you as effectively as possible.
