Last year it began at 7pm, with everyone mingling and getting beautiful photos outside in the picturesque garden - essentially making memories from the start of medical school to last a lifetime.

The freshers formal was short and sweet, with a 2 course meal and some iconic awards  being given out for freshers who had stood out for for various funny and admirable moments through out the week! Most people then went off to pres and a night out at the O2 to carry on the night.
