Akshaya Muthirulandi

Hi! I am Akshaya Muthirulandi, your future GP Society’s Publicity Officer.

Having spent this previous year serving on subcommittee for Surgical Society, I have gained invaluable experience in being a part of the organising committee for the plastic surgery masterclass (coming soon) :) and helping recruiting mentors for the currently very popular mentorship scheme. This taught me the invaluable skill of networking with people, and I have successfully recruited people to the scheme. Additionally, this gave me insight into advertising. Additionally, this year, I was the Head of Culture for Imperial’s Tamil Society – which gave me invaluable organisation skills and time management. Furthermore, being a Head of Culture meant that I needed to be good at promotion to advertise my events – to ensure enough turn out. This meant learning different social media strategies such as using Instagram and TikTok – and how to create eye-catching posts.

In the future, I would make sure to maintain current standards of advertising before every event and bring more awareness to different GP events through not only GP’s Instagram posts but also through stories, etc. Furthermore, as we transition to include more public health within the society – I want to make sure that we showcase this through the posts we make on Instagram. Additionally, I want to make sure that there is sufficient engagement through the posts we make for the GP Society, so connecting us with our members would be a priority.

I hope I convinced you to vote Akshaya!
