We hope the scheme allows first year students to feel more supported by Biomedical Sciences, as well as giving them the opportunity to meet people on their course and ask questions to students who ve got experience of what they are going through Roisin Ryan, 2015 Committee Member
I believe that the work that all the leaders and families do is a vital part of building community within our Deanery. I was very proud to be part of the team which won the best peer student support group award last year and see this achievement as acknowledgement for all the hard work and dedication everyone involved with programme has contributed Emily Wilson 2016 Committee Convenor
Starting university, particularly in a new country, can be daunting and overwhelming. Overall, the Academic Family scheme aims to ensure the students feel supported during their first year and that they have someone to guide them and give them advice Makis Tzioras 2016 Committee Convenor
Where next? Student engagement from the leaders allows this scheme to be sustainable Academic Families are dynamic and adaptable to the needs of the user group New leaders have different ideas to develop the scheme and maintain student engagement For example one leader this year lead a yoga session for their family Another Impact Award?

I nominate the Biomedical Sciences Academic Family peer support committee and affiliated staff as a beacon of good practice in staff/student collaboration. This scheme is an example of genuine equal partnership to ensure the best possible outcomes for all new UG entrants into the Deanery of Biomedical Sciences Impact Award nominator 2016-17
