Athena SWAN in the School of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing

In May 2020, the School of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing was awarded an Athena SWAN Silver Award by the Equality Challenge Unit (now known as Advance HE), in recognition of its commitment to gender equality. Our Silver Action Plan is available here: SoMDN AS Action Plan.‌

Athena SWAN is a UK-wide scheme devoted to the advancement of gender equality by ensuring all university staff have the opportunity of representation, progression, and success. Read the Athena SWAN Charter here. 

The University of Glasgow as a whole holds an Athena SWAN Bronze Award. This is in recognition of the University's commitment to providing the resources necessary to minimise gender bias and create an inclusive culture that values female staff.

Information for School of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing for staff can be found on Moodle.
