LMSS on Radio Merseyside - 20 January 2020

It's strange to think how history is made and written. Will people in the future be studying our blog posts, social media thoughts or emails the way we used to look at people's letters and historical documents? 

During my study of the History of LMSS I've looked at reminiscences in student magazines, medical registers, obituaries and minute books - mostly written records from a century or more ago. 

Now we have digital photos, audio, technology. Will some future medical historian be looking back at us now and trying to glean something of how medicine was in the 21st Century?

When Hamish Baxter, Chloe Queenan and Percy Wace - the current LMSS officers - appeared alongside Prof James Kingsland OBE on the Linda McDermott show on Radio Merseyside on 20.01.2020, I thought it would be nice to archive this for posterity.  Who knows who might be listening a few years from now.

It really captures a snapshot of where LMSS is right now in 2020 - a charitable trust with strong alumni support, an amazing amount of money raised for charity, the importance of medical student culture, thoughts on medical training and hopes for the future, as well as some of the key medical issues of the day. 

Isn't this what the LMSS archives have always captured from those early debating society minute books onwards? 

So here's one for the 2020 digital archive:
