Today we mark International Women’s Day 2026 and this year’s theme .

Supporting women to succeed helps create stronger teams, communities and a stronger future. Across healthcare, education and research, progress is driven when people share their time, knowledge and encouragement with others.

At Health Sciences University, women across our university and clinical services community, including staff and students, share their expertise, leadership, mentorship and collaboration, helping shape the future of healthcare.

To mark the occasion, colleagues across HSU are recognising women who inspire positive change across our community. This week, staff have been sharing messages of appreciation on our internal shout-out wallboard, celebrating their impact.

Today, and every day, we recognise and celebrate the women whose contributions make a lasting difference across our HSU community.
