Biomedical Engineering Equality & Diversity Committee

The Biomedical Engineering Equality and Diversity Committee has responsibility for promoting an inclusive and diverse atmosphere within the Department.  A major role of the E&D committee is to maintain the Department's Athena SWAN Bronze Status (Awarded September 2017) and this includes monitoring gender balance amongst undergraduates, postgraduates and staff members, keeping up with our Athena SWAN action plan and identifying new initiatives which will enhance equality and diversity practice with the Department.

As part of our monitoring and information gathering activities, we invited staff and students to submit comments about female members of staff they felt were inspiring. Beneath, in our profiles section, please find information on four female members of staff from a range of job categories.
