Basically the LMSS is probably the most important society you should join as a medical student. We exist as the central hub of all your social, welfare, academic and sporting needs throughout your time in medical school. We are the main representative student body in the medical school and work closely with the faculty of medicine to get your voices heard as well as influence faculty's decisions of changes in the course and exams. The LMSS also provide the vast majority of revision lectures and resources for learning, and our academic representative is there to listen to any academic problems you feel you need addressing.
Anyone in, or involved with, the medical school can join the LMSS. As in its constitution states, the role of the LMSS to promote the well being, social life, sporting activities and charity fund-raising for all its members.
There is likely to be periods throughout your time at medical school where you will require support. We strive to protect all of the interests of our members at all times. We endeavour to help every one of our members flourish in all aspects of their lives and we seek to protect the welfare of all medical students in any way possible.
That is also not to mention that we hold the best social events and nights out in your student calendar. Come and attend the Thursday Social Meetings, The Annual Medical Ball or the infamous Annual Smoking Concert there will be something bound to take your fancy.

A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY...

The LMSS is the longest-running students society at the University of Liverpool. It was founded over 130 years ago and pre-dates the University itself! It was originally called the "Liverpool Royal Infirmary School of Medicine Debating Society" (known as "MSDS" for short) in 1874.
It was entirely made up of boys, and they debated such things as whether girls should be let into the medical school. The Society finally decided to admit female medical students in 1905. Now, over a century later, our course is now 60% girls to 40% boys!
The name change to the "LMSS" in 1943 shows how The Society was being recognised as doing far more than merely debating, including fundraisers and social events.
