I am a fourth-year Medical Student at the University of Leeds. I previously intercalated in Surgical Design, Technology and Innovation at Imperial College London. I have a strong academic interest in Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery, and am an active student researcher. I have presented research at several national conferences, most recently at the 2023 Edinburgh School of Surgery Undergraduate Student Research Symposium, and have published in the Journal of Arthroplasty, and the Bone and Joint Open. I’m interested in global surgery and trauma in the developing world, and was previously a member of the Leeds Polygeia committee in 2023. As co-president of the Leeds branch, my interest is in helping others grow their research skills and to work collaboratively with other regional branches.

Hello, I am a 3rd year medical student at the University of Leeds. This is my second term as Co-President of the Leeds Branch of Polygeia. Passionate about research and global health, I hope to inspire this interest in others and help students gain research experience as this can be challenging at an undergraduate level. As Co-President, I coordinate the recruitment and operations of the Leeds Polygeia Committee and Research Teams, as well as liaising with the Central Polygeia Committee.

My name is Charlotte Howdle and I am a fifth year medical student at the University of Cambridge. I have experience in research projects in epidemiology- these included exploring barriers and facilitators to paediatric stroke recovery and looking at the incidence of borderline personality disorder symptoms in adolescents. I am excited to be part of Polygeia to learn about commissioning and planning projects. As President, I hope to bring opportunities in public health to other students and inspire them!

Arrad is a MPhil Economics student at the University of Cambridge. He has previously completed a placement at HM Treasury as an economist, where he was exposed to the government’s health policies as the UK came out of the pandemic lockdowns. He is keen to get further involved with policymaking at Polygeia, particularly from an international perspective.
