Diverse Speakers Database

The ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø is committed to developing a culture within the society where all individuals have equality of opportunity and inclusion, irrespective of protected characteristic or geographical location. Our specialty is becoming increasingly diverse and we must ensure that our event speaker panels reflect this diversity. Speaker invitations enhance a presenter’s profile by increasing their visibility and networking opportunities, and ensure our diverse specialty has role models to aspire to.

SWiG has developed a database of talent from lesser represented groups including women, minority ethnicities, district general hospitals, new consultants, trainees and allied health professionals. This list is organic and so we encourage speaker suggestions from all ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø members.

This Diverse Speakers database will be available at the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø offices for judicious distribution on request by ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø members seeking a speaker based on their expertise for their event.  Please email [email protected] to access its contents.

to easily self-nominate or nominate others as speaker suggestions to be added to the list.
