We were delighted to see the turnout at the School of Medicine Athena Swan Townhall.  Given other commitments of staff and students, and summer leave schedules beginning to impact, it was grat to see so many of you in person and online.  We hope you enjoyed hearing more about the Athena Swan accreditation process, and the progress of the Self-Assessment team to date in working towards our November submission.  If you would like to listen back to the recording, please click here.  https://ucc.cloud.panopto.eu/Panopto/Pages/Embed.aspx?id=092699b9-9e18-42a5-9234-b03b00b6a21c&autoplay=false&offerviewer=true&showtitle=true&showbrand=false&captions=false&interactivity=all
