Hi, I'm Katie and I'm a third year medic at UCL intercalating in Immunology and Cell Pathology. I volunteer for London Nightline and UCL Marrow, as well as being very involved in UCL MedSoc. I've always been very interested in reading and writing so I can be found writing for The Medical Student and RUMS Review, as well as writing book reviews for the BMJ. I love medical ethics, paediatrics and general practice as well as napping, Girlguiding and blogging. I'm never found without a book!
