Dear friends and colleagues,
Thank you to those who have taken the time to complete this survey to help us understand the impact of COVID-19 on you and your work.. If you have not completed this survey, we ask that you please take a few minutes to do so via link HERE by Monday 27 July 5pm.
The disruption to work has been profound on many levels, impacting on teaching and research in unprecedented ways. Emerging data suggests that while both men and women have been affected in some way, the impact on academic women is potentially greater, given the added burden of unequal sharing of household work, school closures and home schooling.
Professor Beverley Vollenhoven, chair of the SCS Women in Science, Discovery and Medicine (WiSDOM) committee, and Dr Kate Lawlor, co-Chair of the Hudson Institute Equity and Diversity Committee, have created this short survey to help us understand how our staff have been most impacted. This survey is based on those circulated by colleagues at Central Clinical School and other Medical Research Institutes.
We are interested in the effects on everyone, regardless of appointment type or sex, and hope this can help guide policies and government initiatives in the future.
Best wishes
Eric Morand and Elizabeth Hartland
