Our Medical Society recently took part in the ‘Doctor for a Day’ event at Royal Preston Hospital. The students learned to take a full primary assessment of a patient, including checking their airway, breathing, circulation, disability and exposure. Using this information, they were then asked to carry out a number of clinical examinations including venepuncture, and taking a manual blood pressure. It was also great to see some of our ex- Runshaw students, Ciara McNally, Rachel Henderson and Decland Court, who were all members of our Medical Society three years ago and are now helping run these sessions as medical students at the University of Manchester.
