25.01.2022 Today, we were lucky enough to host the FMSS Retreat where our 2020 committee handed over to the 2021 student representatives. What a year it has been - with new challenges, creativity, and plenty of fun. We can truly say that this committee has not only upheld, but enhanced FMSS' culture of advocacy, education and support. To the 2020 committee, we are SO proud of you. CONGRATULATIONS. We would also like to congratulate all those who have been elected to represent FMSS next year, and wish them all the best for what we are sure will be a fantastic 2021.

12.01.2022 We present to you Placebo Pandemic, the second issue for 2020. It's not lost on us that this theme might be particularly poignant as SA appears to be amidst a concerning outbreak. We are seeing measures reinstated that we had hoped were behind is. Vigilance is paramount it would seem. We are incredibly appreciative of those who contributed to this issue. Many of whom balanced numerous end of year assessments along with their willingness to be involved in Placebo.
