We host many events throughout the year from educational events like our patient experience nights and mock MCQs to social events such as pub quizes and bake sales.
RAREAware Glasgow is society started by our president Zainab Alani to raise awareness about rare diseases, their impact, and what students can do to drive positive change.
“When going through the process of diagnosis at the age of 15, I was suffering from extreme fatigue secondary to my MG [Myasthenia Gravis] however I was dismissed, by more than one healthcare professional, as being a “teenager” or “being lazy”.
Unfortunately, our President Zainab’s experience reflects that of many rare disease patients. As a society, we hope to raise awareness and understanding for rare diseases.
