Cardiff University Paediatric Society (CUPS) is a multi-disciplinary student society for everyone wi

Cardiff University Paediatric Society (CUPS) is a society for students interested in the health and wellbeing of the child. Primarily aimed at healthcare students, CUPS hopes to provide events and activities throughout the year that will develop interest and encourage students to excel within the field of paediatrics. We believe that the multidisciplinary nature of the society provides an invaluab

le learning opportunity and will reflect and promote the team working and holistic approach that paediatrics epitomises. Although the focus of the society is generally an academic one, CUPS will also provide volunteering opportunities to give practical experience of working with children and allow communication with children and their families. We will also dedicate time to fundraising, raising money for some of the many charities that are so important for children.
