Cecilia Cirelli (she/her)
President
Hi, everyone!
I’m Cecilia, a CP2 medic and President of SCRUBS. I’ll be overseeing the committee and all events throughout the year! 2020-2021 will be a very different year for all of us and the SCRUBS events you’re used to will definitely change dramatically. But don’t worry – we’ll keep doing what we do best: promoting careers in surgery, teaching anatomy and surgical skills and organising amazing talks and conferences!
If I’m not doing SCRUBS stuff, I’m usually playing the guitar, ranting about Italian food and planning post-global-pandemic holidays.
Please get in touch with me if you have any questions!

Charutha Senaratne (he/him)
Head of Skills
Hiya, I’m Kirsty and I’m your Academic and Women in Surgery Co-ordinator for this year. I’m really keen to continue encouraging women to pursue the exciting career Surgery can offer! I’m aiming to host the Women in Surgery virtual series, talks and conferences so that everyone can get a flavour for Surgery even in this strange year of Medical School.
I’m also hoping to extend SCRUBS inclusivity principles to feature other influential surgeons that represent the importance of ethnic and gender diversity in Surgery this year.
I have a big interest in Neurosurgery and Obs and Gynae myself, especially Gynae-Oncology Surgery. I’m hoping to bring as many specialities as possible to the talks this year, especially those underrepresented by Women!
I’m always about in the hospital so feel free to come say hi or contact me if you are interested in what we are doing at SCRUBS this year.
Hi I'm CJ.
I'm the Head of Skills this academic year. Alongside the Skills Co-ordinators, I'll be teaching you surgical skills in our regular sessions and organising other events which we hope you enjoy. Despite COVID, we hope we will see many of you this year at our sessions/events, which will be run virtually as needed. We are very keen to help you develop your skills and facilitate your interest in surgery!
I'm always happy to chat, so please get in contact if you need anything or have any suggestions. Before COVID, I would have said if you see me around to say hello; as that might be less likely now, feel free to drop me a message on Facebook or send me an email.
If you have any questions or ideas, please let us know!

Hi, I’m André and I’ll be teaching a range surgical skills to you all throughout the year.

Whether you’re already gunning for surgery or just want to give things a try, I’m here to help you practice, learn & develop confidence for any operating theatre you find yourself in.
If it wasn’t for COVID, I’d be at the gym before most people are up, out most weeks & nights touring cities and finding new places to eat good food.
