Medicine Monthly: October 2026

Welcome to the October edition of Medicine Monthly!

  • Staff Spotlight: featuring the School of Primary Care, Population Sciences and Medical Education Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Inclusive Meeting Sub-Committee.
  • Student Blog: written by this year’s MedSoc President, Elina Prakash.
  • Research Spotlight: exploring antimicrobial resistance and the Faculty’s role in tackling this growing global challenge.

  • Faculty Successes: celebrating staff and student achievements, from new research grants and equipment to student blogs and successes.

Medicine Monthly is changing

Welcome to the new home of the Faculty of Medicine’s monthly newsletter.

Medicine Monthly has moved to a new university-wide platform alongside Staff Matters. This new format gives us more opportunities to showcase our people, research, education and achievements, and to share these stories with audiences beyond the University.

Each story now has its own web page and shareable link, making it easier to share the Faculty’s work more widely.

You can help extend the reach of these stories by:

  • Sharing them with partners and collaborators
  • Sharing them on LinkedIn and other professional networks
  • Including relevant links in email signatures, newsletters and stakeholder updates
  • Highlighting achievements to prospective students, alumni, industry contacts and community groups
