SCM Staff Yoga Class (In Person Face To Face) new [Places] 12:00 - 13:00 Clinical School, Seminar Room 18

Yoga with Daisy Worzencraft is primarily about having fun, giving things a go, and trying - with a sense of humour and a smile on your face! It's a non competitive practice, with modifications for different levels. All she asks is that you try, and that you practice with a sense of pleasure and enjoyment, rather than expectation, frustration and tension.

For Daisy, Yoga has been a consistent friend in her life - especially in times of need - and had nothing to do with perfecting poses!

Wed 26

Pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure) can have a devastating impact on women and their unborn child or children during pregnancy. However, it is becoming increasingly recognised that the effects of pre-eclampsia can remain with a woman throughout her life-course, placing her at an increased risk of heart disease and high blood pressure, well into her future. Is it pre-eclampsia which causes these effects? Or is pre-eclampsia simply a marker of an over-stressed system during pregnancy? This talk will explore the puzzling relationship between pregnancy, pre-eclampsia and women’s long-term cardiovascular health and explain how the University of Cambridge-led POPPY study hopes to provide answers to some of these questions.

This will be a hybrid event and this link is for IN PERSON attendance. If you wish to attend online, please visit the "Related Courses" section on this page.

This session will provide line managers with guidance on the extension and ending of fixed term contracts in line with legislation and University policy, providing clarity on when the end of fixed term contract process can be followed and when a situation sits under the organisational change policy instead. The session will demonstrate the justifiable reasons for ending a contract and outline how the process works in practice, including support that can be given to those at risk of redundancy.

Thu 11

This session will be hosted by Professor Andrew McCaskie (Interim Deputy Head of School), Professor Nita Forouhi (Director of Organisational Affairs) and Mrs Michelle Jones (Head of HR – School of Clinical Medicine) along with a member of the Clinical School Committee.

The purpose of the session is to:

  • provide an overview of the schemes including any changes,
  • highlight key aspects of this process,
  • share experiences of successful applicants,
  • explain the role of a School Committee member,
  • provide an overview of the ACP CV Mentoring Scheme,
  • and address some common misconceptions.

As we will be joined by previous successful applicants who will share their advice on the application process, please consider what questions you might wish to ask in advance so that we can ensure that this is a supportive session.

Any questions in advance can be directed to Sophie at CSReward@admin.cam.ac.uk. Please note that this session will not be hybrid or recorded, however you are able to watch last year’s briefing here

SCM Staff Yoga Class (In Person Face To Face) new [Places] 12:00 - 13:00 Clinical School, Seminar Room 18

Yoga with Daisy Worzencraft is primarily about having fun, giving things a go, and trying - with a sense of humour and a smile on your face! It's a non competitive practice, with modifications for different levels. All she asks is that you try, and that you practice with a sense of pleasure and enjoyment, rather than expectation, frustration and tension.

For Daisy, Yoga has been a consistent friend in her life - especially in times of need - and had nothing to do with perfecting poses!

SCM Staff: Introduction to British Sign Language (Workshop In Person Face to Face) new [Places] 10:00 - 12:00 Clinical School, Seminar Room 10

Why learn the BSL? It is the first language choice of the Deaf community in the United Kingdom and one of the many sign languages used across the world. However, the BSL is not all about the signing; it challenges you to think differently, how to better connect the brain with the body and improve communication skills through lip-reading, use of handshapes and expressing emotions. Because it is a visual language, the BSL is not only aimed at communication with the Deaf but at anyone with hearing difficulty or disability that makes it difficult for them to community orally.

It is also useful in developing more effective clinical communication skills in the University and Colleges and other workplaces once students graduate and begin their chosen careers. To be able to greet and introduce yourself to students and colleagues who may be hard of hearing or deaf alike; to be able to point them in a direction or ask how they feel; this all is a part of our duty of care including the compassion, sympathy and empathy toward others. The BSL may help us demonstrate this better and we should embrace the BSL as an essential feature of everyday clinical life.

Dr Zrinka Mendas will be delivering the session and would like to share her experience of being a deaf academic and offer a glimpse into sign language, Deaf culture and the BSL alphabet.

SCM Staff: British Sign Language Follow Up (Workshop In Person Face to Face) new [Places] 10:00 - 12:00 East Forvie Building, Large Downstairs Teaching Room

This workshop introduces you to the basics of everyday communication in the BSL. You will learn to initiate a basic conversation, for example, how to greet and introduce yourself to others while using the BSL syntax and asking the questions.

The BSL is about listening to what cannot be heard. It is about experiencing what it is like being a deaf person. It is also about how to better use our body language and our emotions when conveying our messages across. All these skills are essential in our everyday communication and this workshop provides a friendly environment to experience them.

The prerequisite for joining is a basic knowledge of the BSL alphabet and fingerspelling, which you obtained in the earlier workshop.

Join us in the next BSL adventure!
