OSOP aims:
What We Do:
We’ve got a full schedule for 2015 including talks, workshops, careers and fundraising events. We aim to connect students, clinicians and researchers to keep you informed about local, national and international opportunities in paediatrics.
This year we are running Teddy Bear Hospital Oxford, a medical student volunteer-run venture. Our team will be visiting local schools and teaching children aged 4-7 about healthcare and healthy living. We aim to familiarise children with the equipment and procedure of going to the doctor to make it less intimidating, working alongside the healthy living PSHE curriculum.
