Cutting Edge
Cutting Edge was set up in 2001 to promote surgery as a career within the
University and the Medical School. It is affiliated with the Royal College
of Surgeons and has a membership approaching 250. The society aims to
achieve its goals by promoting RCS and WIST events, organising talks from
surgeons in all stages of their career - both about particular surgical
specialties, and about surgical training in general and by organising
clinical skills workshops.

KAOS - Kids Action Over Seas
KAOS is an international children's community action group set up by medical
students. They are volunteer led, and send and support their volunteers to
run projects in association with charities based in Tanzania, Kenya,
Ethiopia or Peru. KAOS raises money in various ways, namely charity hitch
hikes, club nights and charity collection pub crawls. Last year over £13,
000 was raised! Volunteers get the opportunity to have an international and
community specific impact on health awareness, poverty and injustice. If
you're interested in getting involved on any level - fundraising, project
opportunities or project assessment - please have a look at the website.

MedSin
Medsin-UK is a national network of healthcare students who raise awareness
of and take action on global health issues. We encourage students to get
involved with projects and campaigns that they feel are important or
under-represented at university and that relate to health issues such as
refugees, homelessness or HIV. Formed in 1997, Medsin is a network of
motivated healthcare students active in curriculum issues, community
projects, international exchanges, campaigns and conferences. Medsin-UK is
also the UK member of the International Federation of Medical Students'
Associations and is involved in arranging professional and research
exchanges with other medical schools in 91 countries across the world.

students and approximately 98% (over 1000) of the current students are
members. They aim to organise social events that fit around the timetables
of students who like to work hard and play hard! Medsoc is a very active
society, holding several large events each term, ranging from summer
barbeques to cocktail parties and the annual Spring Ball.

St Johns Ambulance (LMSU)
LMSU trains medical students to a very high standard, so that they can go
out on duty and provide first aid care to the general public. Our training
complements the medical school training, and has something for everyone, no
matter what stage of their medical training they are at.

Widening Access to Medical School (WAMS)
This site was designed to help people through the daunting process of
medical admissions. Getting into medical school is not an easy task and
(quite rightly) demands a lot of motivation and dedication and a great deal
of specialist knowledge is required. Students at Leeds University's School
of Medicine realised that there was no one website which dealt with all of
those burning questions that you have, so they created one!
