Galenicals is committed to promoting equality, diversity, and inclusivity for all medics studying at the University of Bristol including those on the MB ChB course, Gateway to Medicine course and intercalating medics. Throughout your time at medical school, we know how important a warm and inviting community will be and we are dedicated to creating a safe space for you all – this starts with us welcoming you in your first year!

 

All medics should feel comfortable regardless of age, disability, gender, sexuality, race, religion, belief or any other personal characteristic. Therefore, as a society we have a zero-tolerance stance for any kind of discrimination or harassment and we expect all our members to uphold these values. We are proud to be a community that actively challenges inequalities. Galenicals is a place where everyone should be treated with dignity and respect.

 

In turn, as the representative society for the medical student body, we recognise our responsibility to support and empower students facing adversity. If you have a concern or experience something uncomfortable, we encourage you to reach out to us at Galenicals, specifically the Welfare and Equalities team (emails listed below). We are always on hand to signpost resources, give advice, and platform your perspectives.

 

Diversity is a strength that enriches our academic community and prepares us to become compassionate, culturally competent healthcare professionals. As a member of Galenicals - one of the largest student societies at Bristol - your voice carries significant weight and we committed to amplifying it. Above all, our aim is to improve your university experience and create a better environment for you.
