Cultural Societies
Cultural Societies at Warwick Medical School
In conjunction with the Many cultural societies at the main University of Warwick Campus, There are also a range of cultural societies that our medical students (especially those from international background) can engage in. These societies can help you feel more at home during your time here at Medical school and also help you keep in touch with important festivals, events, gatherings and feeling of community that matter to you. Please find below a list of societies, their descriptions and a link to some of their pages
Of course, as mentioned, there are still lots to explore about societies outside of medical school which you can find more details here : https://www.warwicksu.com/societies-sports/societies/

Wilderness Society
Wilderness is all about getting out and having outdoor adventures as well as learning lots of exciting pre-hospital and expedition medicine skills.
We organise walk and pub lunches, talks by expedition medics, our famous weekend trips, as well as teach activities like climbing, slacklining, or mountain biking. We also teach lots of wilderness medicine, taking people through the basics of an out-of-hospital A to E assessment, to simulated scenarios, all the way to taking teams to the national pre-hospital medicine competition every year!
Absolutely everyone is welcome regardless of interest or experience, whether you want to get out for your first outdoor activity and want some guidance or you’re a seasoned mountaineer, we’d love you to join!

Teddy Bear Hospital
Teddy Bear Hospital is a voluntary project aimed at children of primary school age. We organise Teddy Bear Hospital events throughout the academic year, where children are invited to bring along their 'poorly' teddies to visit the Teddy Bear Doctor, where they will receive 'treatment' at the clinic.
The events enable WMS students to further develop their interaction skills with children, whilst educating children about health and wellbeing in a fun and friendly way and hopefully reducing any nerves about trips to the doctor/ hospital.
