Cutting Edge
About Us
Cutting Edge Leeds was founded in 2001 to promote surgery as a career within the University of Leeds and its Medical School. It is affiliated with the Royal College of Surgeons of England (RCSEng, Registered Charity No. 212808) and has close to 100 members.
The society aims to achieve its goals by promoting RCSEng and Women in Surgery (WinS) events, organising talks from surgeons in all stages of their careers, and clinical skills workshops. In addition, the Cutting Edge Leeds committee has made a bold transition from the previous year rep structure that many societies adopt. Instead, we are now organised into groups or departments to maximise the efficiency within the committee and, therefore, to provide a better service to our members and attending non-members.
We also received the award for the Best Departmental Society at the 2009 Riley Awards, as part of the Leeds University Union Celebrate Week - a testament to our hard work and to commitment of our members. We are friendly and approachable, not cliquey and aloof. Some of us think that surgery is the career for us, while others have not yet decided. We don't expect you to know either; we just want to make you think about surgery. Membership costs £5.00 per year. If you are interested, just come along to one of our events or sign up sessions, or become a member online. For further information, contact mail@cuttingedgeleeds.co.uk or visit our contact page.
