inclusive than ever before. Events and campaigns obviously suffered this year, and sustainability will continue to be a priority going forward, but we’ve done some work behind the scenes to engrain it in all that we do. It has definitely been and continues to be a busy year for Galenicals! Should you be in need of a lockdown activity, I’d thoroughly recommend reading some of the old Black Bag editions. There is a collection kept online at issuu.com/galenicals and the Medical Library holds further editions. For a particularly interesting parallel between our current lives and the lives of past students, I’d recommend the 1945 peacetime edition – an insight into the thoughts of students following the only comparable challenge facing society in the lifetime of the Black Bag and Galenicals. Reassuringly, medical students will always be medical students and the stereotypes will always apply. Finally, I would like to dedicate this address to Matt Ward, one of our own, who we sadly lost this year. May he rest in peace. J.
