How we work

Our Athena SWAN initiatives are led by our Self-Assessment Team (SAT) and supported by our fabulous Athena SWAN Champions across 14 sub-groups. In addition, we have colleagues working on several innovative 'beacon activities" including Women's Health, CPR, and 'Bereavement".
The SAT and sub-groups include academic, clinical and administrative staff of all grades, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students from across all of our divisions.
We are constantly evolving in response to feedback from staff and students from across the community. If you would like to get involved, then please do contact Kirstie.
