Lincoln Medical School Statement of Mission and Values

Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion

Lincoln Medical School is committed to providing an inclusive and positive environment and to supporting the diversity of all its students and staff. We work hard to meet the needs of a diverse student population and provide a safe, supportive and welcoming environment for all. We expect all students to work with us and behave in a way that reflects and appreciates the diversity of the University community.

The University of Nottingham and the University of Lincoln both work hard to promote equality and embrace diversity, not just as a legislative requirement, but as part of their core values and missions. The universities support a wide variety of activities focussing on EDI, from short-term working groups focused on specific issues to wider initiatives to help develop training for all staff.

Lincoln Medical School is signed up to the BMA Racial Harassment Charter, seeking to prevent and address racial harassment.

We commit to:

  • Supporting individuals speaking out
  • Ensuring robust processes for reporting and handling complaints
  • Ensuring equality, diversity, and inclusion across the learning environment
  • Addressing racial harassment on work placements.

All staff within Lincoln Medical School are expected to undertake training in Equality and Diversity, and Unconscious Bias, and online training courses on these topics form part of the core induction programme for our medical students. All Personal Tutors within Lincoln Medical School have access to a reference guide to explore EDI issues and to understand some of the different difficulties that our diverse student body can encounter during their studies. We hope it will help to improve the academic experience of all students at the University, as well as the relationships between students and their personal tutors.

A copy of this guide can be viewed here: https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/edi/staff-guides.aspx

We recognise that, to enable all students to have equal access to our facilities and educational opportunities, some students may require adjustments or specialist support. We therefore aim to take a flexible approach, wherever possible, when responding to the individual needs of our students. For more information on adjustments or specialist support please visit our Student Wellbeing pages: https://studentservices.lincoln.ac.uk/health-and-wellbeing/.
