The boss. The head honcho, the top dog, the big cheese. This role is as demanding as it is gratifying, as it involves leading the team from the start to the finish of every issue, as well as general committee management. Naturally, with such high demands on time (outside of the medical course, that is), it is a position that requires a high degree of organisation and capability. The editor is involved in the general layout of the paper, the styles and the focus of the issue, and indeed the policies of the newspaper. Along with this, the Editor also liaises with the members involved with the maintenance of the paper, such as the treasurer and the patron societies, thereby shaping the direction and future of the publication.
