Patricia Pont Sanchis
Vice-President

Patricia is BSc Medical Biosciences with Management student at Imperial College London, eager to complement my scientific skills with business acumen, and influence global health policies. Having lived in Lisbon, Warsaw, Milan and now London, I have embraced different cultures and appreciated the diversity around me. Outside of the sciences, my interest in music has taken me around the world playing the violin in various orchestras. I’m hoping to pursue a master’s in Pharmaceutical Management and expand my horizons while travelling the world.

President

Muhammad is a medical student at King’s College London, intercalating at the London School of Economics in International Health Policy. Avidly passionate about psychiatry, he hopes to use his time at LSE to investigate macro-level issues concerning mental health policy, funding and equity.

In summer, he will be conducting an internship at CPEC supervised by the Director of NIHR SSCR where he will look into the economic consequences of BPD.

He endeavours to demonstrate his abilities in strategy, management and leadership, in his role as Branch President, and aims to create a fun, engaging dynamic at the London Branch of Polygeia. His future plans aside from clinical psychiatry involve the pursuit of alternative careers such as in the regulatory landscape of pharmaceuticals.
