Equality, diversity and inclusion at the IoO

The Equality Challenge team has been established to promote and enhance EDI across the Institute of Ophthalmology to benefit all staff and students. As the name suggests, we recognise the challenge of developing a fair society. By fostering a positive environment and offering equality of opportunity, we enable staff and students to flourish and fulfil their potential.

We recognise that enacting cultural change requires commitment and action from everyone at all levels. For this reason, our team is diverse, representing staff at all levels of seniority. To contact the team, please email ioo-equality@ucl.ac.uk.
