Nottingham SCRUBS Student Surgical Society

Starting your BMedSci this autumn? This session is for you.

One of the most important skills for a successful BMedSci is knowing how to find, filter, and organise the literature that will underpin your project. A strong literature search can save hours of work and help ensure your research is built on the best available evidence.

Join us for the second session of the SCRUBS Journal Club Skills Series, where Ruth Curtis will be delivering a workshop on Literature Searching.

Tuesday 9th June
5:30–6:30 PM
Online

This session is particularly relevant for students who:
* Are beginning their BMedSci project this autumn
* Want to improve their research skills
* Are unsure how to efficiently search databases and source relevant papers
* Are interested in academic medicine and research

This is the second of five skills sessions, and students who attend 3 out of 5 sessions will receive a certificate of participation.
The presentation speciality for June is Anaesthetics, and those who have expressed an interest in presenting will be contacted shortly.

Get ready — SCRUBS Anatomy Spotter is back 🔥

This session is all about exam preparation, giving you the chance to go through practice questions in the same style and format you’ll see in your actual paper. It’s designed to help you think clinically, apply your knowledge under pressure, and get comfortable with the way anatomy is tested — not just what you know, but how you use it.

Open to everyone, but especially valuable for Year 2s as you head into exams — you really won’t want to miss this one.

Join us on Sunday, 3rd May at 6 pm, online via Teams.

Year 2 Anatomy Spotter

SCRUBS is running an online anatomy spotter session to help you get properly exam-ready ahead of your Year 2 exams.

📅 3rd May
🕕 6:00 PM
💻 Online

This session is built around exam-style questions, so you can practise applying your anatomy knowledge in a way that actually mirrors what you’ll see in exams.

It’s a chance to test yourself, spot gaps in your understanding, and build confidence under timed, exam-like conditions.
If anatomy feels overwhelming at times, this is a really good way to bring it all together in a structured, focused session.

Certificates will be provided with attendance of 5+ anatomy sessions.
