Please join us for our first Annual Equality, Diversity and Inclusion talk and Q&A. This event brings external speakers with unique expertise and diverse experiences from different sectors, to inspire and expand our community knowledge and awareness of contemporary EDI issues. Our speaker, I. Stephanie Boyce, is the Immediate Past President of the Law Society of England and Wales. In March 2021 she became the 177th President, making history as the sixth female and the first black, first person of colour to become president.

As President, Stephanie prioritised the issue of diversity, inclusion and social mobility, and spent her time challenging harmful and reductive attitudes. She will explore why diversity matters and why each of us have a responsibility to build truly diverse and inclusive professions.

Attendees will gain valuable insights relevant to our community from Stephanie’s journey to becoming President after four attempts. Leading with intention and purpose, her perseverance, determination, resilience and strength are an inspiring invitation.

Biography

I. Stephanie Boyce is the Immediate Past President of the Law Society of England and Wales. In March 2021 she became the 177th, the sixth female and the first black, first person of colour to become President.

Stephanie has chaired, or been a member of, several high-profile organisations, made appearances before Parliamentary committees (Justice Select) and engaged with Ministers in all parts of the United Kingdom and abroad. She holds a Master of Laws in public law and global governance from King’s College London. A Fellow of the Chartered Governance Institute, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and a Fellow of the Society of Leadership Fellows, an Honorary professor of King’s College, Dickson Poon School of Law and hold two Honorary Doctorates from Keele University and the University of East London.

As President, Stephanie led the Society through challenging times from the tail end of Brexit, a pandemic, the war in Ukraine, Afghanistan, the death of Her Majesty the Queen and the biggest shake-up to the way solicitors train and qualify in 30 years, to name a few.

Her strong leadership has been crucial to the Society’s stability and successes, securing a number of concessions from government and other stakeholders on judicial review, the Bill of Rights Bill and the solicitors indemnity fund.

With over 20 years’ experience of practice as a solicitor working with a number of organisations in helping to set tangible goals, formulate strategic plans, and develop strategic objectives at home and abroad, Stephanie’s past roles and experience brings a distinct perspective and insight to the development and delivery of her work.

Date: Wednesday 16 August
Time: 12:30 – 2:30pm 
Location: 2nd Floor, Hunter Wing, St George's, University of London

MBBS Alumni are warmly invited to attend the MBBS Careers Fair at St George’s, University of London and share their career paths with current students. This is an annual event that is highly valued by our MBBS students and is usually very well-attended. In 2023, the event will be returning to an in-person format for the first time in four years and we are excited to make this a face to face experience for our students again.   

The Careers Fair is open to all medical students, but is particularly focused on students in their clinical years. The students benefit tremendously from the opportunity to chat to trainees and consultants in a broad a range of specialities. We are hoping to have representation from as many medical specialties as possible. 

We would be very grateful for the participation of MBBS alumni to speak informally to students about the specialty which they work in, as the insight you are able to offer will be of huge value to those considering their next steps. The Fair will run for two hours from 12:30- 2:30pm.

Refreshments will be provided for exhibitors and alumni.  

If you would be interested in speaking to students at the event, please complete this form  by Friday 2 June, 2023. 

The MBBS programme team will send out further information to all attendees nearer the time, but if you have any questions or queries at this stage, please feel free to contact Corinne Cohen, MBBS Education Support Manager, at ccohen@sgul.ac.uk.
