Places are still available for our first two lunches of 2023. Guests can be invited. We have two excellent topics, and Prof Ferguson in particular is not to be missed!
We are delighted to announce we have lunches organised for January and February both at the RNUC with the usual 1214 start time.
Wednesday 11th January:
Professor James Ferguson, MB.ChB, FRCS (Ed), FRCS (A&E), FCEM, FRCP (Ed), visiting Professor of Remote Healthcare to the Robert Gordon University and a Reader in Emergency Medicine with Aberdeen University (he is retained by Eon Productions as a medical advisor), is our guest speaker. His topic at the lunch will be:
Forget SPECTRE, Mr Bond. SLOTH is the enemy! (or A Tale of Two Flemings)
The United Kingdom is under attack! Since 1947, a secret organisation (SLOTH) has widely infiltrated the National Health Service, using its influence for evil. Professor Ferguson will describe the threat and the measures being used to try and counter this clear and present danger.
Intrigued? Then book your place at the lunch to find out more!
Wednesday 1st February
Shelley Mackenzie, Youth Services Manager, and Michelle Trail, Employability Manager from Station House Media Unit (shmu) are our guest speakers.
Station House Media Unit (shmu) is one of the core cultural organisations in North East Scotland and is at the forefront of community media development in Scotland, supporting residents in the seven regeneration areas of Aberdeen in radio and video production, traditional and on-line publications, music production and digital inclusion.
