SIPBS-WIDE
(Wellbeing Inclusion Diversity Equality)

The SIBPS-WIDE team, chaired by Dr Geoff Coxon, is responsible for the development and implementation of the SIPBS’s Athena SWAN action plan. The team consists of male and female members with diverse career profiles, personal experiences, and ethnicities. It includes academic, research‐only, teaching‐only, technical/APS members of staff, as well as representatives from the postgraduate and undergraduate communities within SIPBS.
In June 2021 the Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences received an Athena SWAN Silver Departmental Award in recognition of its practices which support gender equality in higher education.
