Special Senses

ARU Special Senses Society
The ARU Special Senses Society brings together students with a shared interest in the fascinating fields of ophthalmology, ENT, dermatology, and beyond. Our aim is to create a community where members can learn, connect, and gain hands-on experiences that go beyond the classroom.

Over the past year, we’ve hosted exciting events including the Anglia Ruskin x Barts National Ophthalmology Conference, an engaging Special Senses Crash Course, and a series of interactive teaching and skills sessions: from clinical workshops to VR-based training experiences.

Looking ahead, members can look forward to a packed programme of opportunities such as:

  • Dermatology & Ophthalmology Conferences

  • Speciality Insights and Portfolio-Building Teaching

  • Christmas Social

  • Surgical Skills Workshops

  • Teaching Series

Whether you’re hoping to deepen your knowledge, strengthen your portfolio, or simply enjoy a vibrant student community, the ARU Special Senses Society has something for everyone.
