Liverpool Medical Students Society

The Society's Honorary President for 2020/21 is the Executive Pro-Vice Chancellor of the University of Liverpool Faculty of Health and Life Science, Professor Louise Kenny MBChB (Hons), PhD, MRCOG.

The Society records the names of its Student Officers and Honorary Presidents in the Jack Leggate Theatre of the Victoria Gallery & Museum.

They cover a portfolio of areas including entertainment & socials, charities, welfare, clubs & societies and the Annual Medical Ball.

More recently, the Society has gathered national media attention for its "Jack Leggate" song and its infamous Annual Smoking concert which started in the 1880s.

[1][4] On 10 November 2014 the online feminist magazine The Vagenda tweeted a screenshot which apparently showed a proposed script for the Annual Smoking Concert which had been circulated among fourth year medical students.

[11] The Mirror Online highlighted the explicit lyrics of the LMSS's "Jack Leggate song", stating; "The society is also known for singing an explicit song at society events which includes the line “we like those girls who say they won't but look as though they might”"[12] The university and Liverpool Guild of Students subsequently released a statement condemning the content and promising an internal inquiry into the materials for the production.

[14] On 15 January 2016, a petition was created on change.org opposing the de-ratification of the LMSS, which demanded the immediate resignation of Liverpool Guild of Students President Harry Anderson.
