We organize and support many different projects and events in varying areas. Medsin Nottingham is the Nottingham University branch of Medsin-UK.<br /><br /><strong>Projects and Campaigns:</strong><br />Medsin Nottingham is currently supporting Stop AIDS, WaterAid, Marrow, Sexpression:UK, PharmAware, Malaria and Neglected Diseases Campaign, CPRiS, Crossing Borders, Open Art Surgery and others.<br /><br />Full details can be found on our website: </span><a href="http://www.medsinnottingham.org.uk/"><span style="font-family:arial;">www.medsinnottingham.org.uk</span></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Open Art Surgery</strong><br />Open Art Surgery is a project which involves volunteer students going into the Queens Medical Centre paediatrics wards. The volunteers carry out art therapy sessions with the children in which they are given a chance to socialise with each other as well as express themselves through art.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">It has proven particularly helpful for young teens in long term hospitalisation as they often feel bored and isolated. There are display areas in the hospital for art pieces created by the children involved. The project is currently vastly unfunded and Medsin Nottingham is hoping to raise £500 so that new materials can be purchased and the project can continue.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/63312497995139096-8357617291904989718?l=openartsurgery.blogspot.com'/></div>College of law Committeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09922995783271706277noreply@blogger.com0
