Athena Swan Silver Award

The School of Nursing and Midwifery holds a prestigious Silver Athena SWAN Award.

This accolade, first achieved in 2012, was awarded in recognition of good practice in recruiting, retaining, and promoting women in science and higher education. We are also the first School in Queen's to establish a student SWAN group.
