Medical Science at Moreton HallTHE JENNER SOCIETY

AUTUMN TERM 2020 - PROGRAMME

Scholarship | Gaiety | Humanity

THE JENNER SOCIETY

Now in its tenth year, the Jenner Society is a Medical Science Society established and run by the Sixth Form at Moreton Hall, with the support of the Biology Department. We invite speakers to discuss biological developments in the news and attend a range of events and workshops that have all helped Moreton girls to investigate and pursue careers in the Medical Sciences and in Veterinary Science.

We have been delighted by the interest and support that the Jenner Society has received and have invited a group of leading medics and academics to help us to steer the Society into the future, under the Chairmanship of Ruth Longfellow. Details of the Jenner Society Steering Group are included in this booklet.

Our aim is to make the Jenner Medical programme available as a forum for pupils f rom other local schools and colleges to learn and explore advances in Medical Science. The Society’s real and online events are open to all pupils and parents at Moreton Hall as well as any other interested pupils. With Moreton’s strong tradition of preparing girls for medical and veterinary careers, this is a very exciting time for the Jenner Society. With more girls than

ever choosing Science as a career, we hope to provide our pupils with the resources that they need to excel.

In the current situation of COVID-19 restrictions the Jenner Society has gone virtual. In the previous term all of our weekly events were delivered online. This term we hope to achieve some level of a return to normality but until it is safe to visit in person, our speakers have been invited to deliver their talks by video. For this term we have invited a wide range of speakers who we believe will help our pupils to pursue careers in Medical and Veterinary Science.

If you are reading this programme as a parent, Old Moretonian or simply as a pupil interested in Medical Science, have a look at which events and speakers you would like to attend or perhaps consider coming and talking to the Jenner Society yourself. In the new virtual world this has never been easier!

Her PhD investigated placental dysfunction in pregnancies complicated by diabetes mellitus. In 2015, she started her role as a postdoctoral researcher, applying skills she developed during her PhD to the f ield of orthopaedics. Here she works on the identif ication of molecules (called biomarkers) that can be used to predict the outcome neurology of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and on the stratif ication of patients to the most appropriate surgical interventions aimed at treating cartilage defects and early osteoarthritis.
