Hello, I’m currently a fourth year based at Manchester Royal Infirmary, and am taking a year out to intercalate for a masters degree in tissue engineering for regenerative medicine. This year will be my third year I have been involved with scalpel in some form, and so far have found being a committee member highly rewarding. I look forward to the year ahead with eagerness and excitement, and hope we can build on our previous achievements, and continue to ensure scalpels reputation for excellence is maintained.
