\"\"<\/a>As mentioned in the previous post, this September\u00a0we\u2019re officially relaunching FMS EDI communications!\u00a0As part of this relaunch,\u00a0we have a\u00a0fabulous\u00a0comms\u00a0team and a\u00a0brand new\u00a0look.<\/p>\n

As well as our existing EDI Team (Candy,\u00a0Malasree\u00a0and Ann), we are bringing on board\u00a0fivemore colleagues with communications experience, to make sure our EDI message is heard loud and clear across the Faculty, and that you\u2019re all aware of the great work which we\u2019re doing! We are excited to introduce\u2026<\/p>\n

Dom\u00a0works in NICR and has experience managing their social media pages and designing their intranet site.<\/p>\n

\u201cEDI over a number of years has become more and more embedded in everything we do as a Faculty due to the hard work and effort our EDI team have put in. Having been part of the Faculty and the local NICR team for a couple of years, I wanted to be more involved. I\u2019ll be helping with the ideas and events that will be\u00a0<\/i>coming<\/i>\u00a0up<\/i>, with editing the new intranet and developing social media content as my\u00a0<\/i>main focus<\/i>.<\/i>\u00a0I look forward to the launch of the EDI communications team and seeing you all at many of the upcoming events.\u201d<\/i>

Ann Fitchett is the Events, Engagement and Outreach Coordinator for\u00a0IoN, which includes organising their events and managing their social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s really important that the work of the EDI team is visible to demonstrate how committed the Faculty is in supporting all its members to reach their full potential. It’s easy to become trapped in your own small bubble so to help spread the message to all the different units is a very exciting challenge.\u201d<\/i>

Joanna Matthan<\/a><\/p>\n

Jo is one our Lecturers in the School of Medical Education. S has expertise in social media and is\u00a0a member or their EDI team.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m really excited to be joining the FMS EDI Comms Team. I’ve partaken in EDI committee meetings on a school level for a few years, but the opportunity to have a wider impact as part of a dedicated and innovative team means taking my passion for equality, diversity and inclusion to a new level. Being part of the EDI Comms team will, I hope, help to widen our scope of what we currently perceive as EDI and to become even more inclusive as a University.\u201d<\/i>
