Warwick Medical School & Athena Swan
WMS was the first medical school in England to receive the bronze Athena SWAN award in 2012. In October 2019 we were delighted to achieve a silver award in recognition of our commitment to equality of opportunity for all. In November 2024 we submitted our silver renewal application and await the awarding outcome.
