1 The Jenner Society Medical Science at Moreton Hall Summer 2017 Programme

2 The Jenner Society Medical Science at Moreton Hall n Now in its sixth year, the Jenner Society is a Medical Science Society established and run by the Lower 6 at Moreton Hall with the support of the Science 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. n 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 Josh Dixey, details of the Jenner Society Steering Group are included in this booklet. n Our aim to make the Jenner Medical programme available outside the school itself and provide a forum where pupils from other local school and colleges and perhaps undergraduates can come together to learn and explore advances in medical science, is beginning to bear fruit. Links with Keele University Medical School and elsewhere are now enabling us to extend our programme further afield and this year we are running STEM workshops with St. Martins School to raise aspirations at a younger age. n 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. n For the next academic year we have invited a wide range of speakers and planned events that we believe will help our students to pursue careers in Medical and Veterinary Science. We hope to attract students from other schools to the Faculty. n If you are reading this programme as a parent, Old Moretonian or simply as a student interested in Medical Sciences at a different school, have a look at which events and or speakers you would like to attend, or perhaps consider coming and talking to the Jenner Society yourself.
