Dr Panna Muqit, ScotGEM Year 1 Generalist Clinical Mentor (GCM) at the School of Medicine and her ScotGEM student group are participating in the Maggie\u2019s 50-mile running challenge in January to support the excellent work that Maggie\u2019s do in helping those diagnosed with cancer and their families.\u00a0 Maggie\u2019s is a charity providing free cancer support and information in centres across the UK and online.\u00a0 Panna takes her group to Maggie\u2019s Dundee every year during \u2018breast lump\u2019 teaching week to show them the important contribution that these centres make to patient wellbeing.<\/p>\n

The ScotGEM course curriculum emphasises the significance of community engagement as evidenced by the \u2018Agents of Change\u2019 component of the course where students are trained to help drive future change in the design and delivery of healthcare in Scotland and beyond.\u00a0 Contributing actively towards quality improvement in healthcare. During their first semester of year 1, the ScotGEM students spend approximately 20 hours with a third sector organisation, learning about the valuable services they offer their communities.\u00a0 This helps consolidate students\u2019 understanding of the wider social determinants of health.\u00a0 Maggie\u2019s provides individuals affected by cancer with support when trying to navigate some of these determinants as well as being a place where individuals can come and contemplate without any pressure in friendly, relaxed surroundings.<\/p>\n

Simon Mcintyre, one of the students joining the Maggie\u2019s 50-mile running challenge said that he was inspired to participate in the challenge after visiting the Dundee centre in December and seeing his GCM\u2019s run updates from early January.\u00a0 The other Year 1 ScotGEM students involved are Lewis Astin, James Cairn, Helen Elsworth, Holly Fleming, Emy Idaewor and Liam Read.\u00a0 Some are walking the miles instead of running and fundraising, it all helps.<\/p>\n

The challenge ends at the end of the month.\u00a0 If anyone would like to make a donation to Maggie\u2019s, Panna\u2019s JustGiving link is https:\/\/www.justgiving.com\/fundraising\/panna-muqit<\/a><\/p>\n

Her social media account on Twitter and Instagram is @pannamedic, if you\u2019d like to follow her progress.\u00a0 She updates these platforms regularly as well as provides an insight into her ScotGEM teaching activities and other outside interests.<\/p>\n
