Campaigns

Medsin works on a number of campaigns that reflect our aim to raise awareness of global health issues and reduce health inequalities. For more information, please contact the Campaigns Officer (Deemica Patel) at campaigns@medsinleicester.com.
 

PharmAware
PharmAware aims to enhance patient care by maximizing good practice and ethical interactions between healthcare professionals and pharmaceutical companies. Alongside this, they educate and campaign on various international pharmaceutical issues. Branches can be found at medical schools around the UK.

For more information on PharmAware Leicester contact Rebecca Cole or Rachel Gregory at any of the following addresses:

 

Healthy Planet
Healthy Planet aims to promote awareness of the link between environment and health in order to advocate more environmental policy and action. It highlights the importance of living within ecological limits, and encourages and enables Medsin to operate in the most environmentally-friendly way possible.

 

Medics For Fairtrade
The idea is to make the Leicester Medical School as Fairtrade as possible.

 

Water4All
The Water4All campaign works in conjunction with the organisation WaterAid by organising fundraising and awareness raising events related to water and sanitation access.

 

Stop AIDS
The Medsin Stop AIDS campaign is part of the Student Stop AIDS Campaign (a subset of the National Stop AIDS Campaign), whose dream is universal access to evidence-based prevention, sustainable treatment and care. The campaign also provides education to reduce stigma and discrimination.
