From April 2017, through a memorandum of understanding, voted on by members, the director of the organisation Medact, became an ex-officio board member.

Additional governance issues (Optional information)

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant, about:

In addition to the Constitution, the charity is governed by a set of Bylaws, which determine the internal workings and democratic procedures of the organisation. Voting Members also select policy statements, which determine the stances and actions of the charity, and guidance statements, which set out best practice.

Over 30 university branches around the country are affiliated to the charity, and carry out their own local events, campaigns and actions, as well as attend national events and opportunities. Over 15 external organisations are affiliated or partnered to the charity, who work across the country on issues of relevance to the charity’s vision and mission. These together form the Voting Members of the charity, who are represented by the executive, the National Committee.

The charity adopted the third 3-year Long Term Development Plan in the Autumn General Assembly 2019, which will direct the work of the charity at all levels for 3 years, the period for which will end in August 2022. It includes a set of priority areas which the charity will develop, as well as a set of aims and objectives to support the charity’s development in the

future. This includes developing stronger governance around induction, handover, training, welfare and finances.

The charity is affiliated internationally to the International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations (IFMSA), making it the UK National Member Organisation. At the Spring General Assembly in 2019, a new category of governance called “Internal Operating Procedures (IOPs)” was adopted.

Summary of the main
activities undertaken for the
public benefit in relation to
these objects (include within
this section the statutory
declaration that trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit)
To create a network of students empowered to effect tangible social and
political change in health on a local, national and global level through
education, advocacy and community action.
This was the second year of the 2019-2022 Strategy Plan enactment,
which focused on three key areas. Firstly, we worked to strengthen
the foundations of the organisation through governance
strengthening, improved monitoring and evaluation, and fnancial
sustainability. Secondly, we built on these foundations to establish our
identity further, strengthen capacity building and grassroots
engagement. Thirdly we started the planning phase of our longer-term
projects to provide high-quality global health education, engage in
research, and achieve tangible results in our policy, advocacy and
campaigning.
Governance: We took major steps as a charity with the decision to
change into a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) being
passed at the Spring General Assembly (SGA) 2020. In February 2021,
we submitted an application to the Charity Commission to change into
a CIO. We received feedback on our constitution, and we will be acting
on this, and re-submitting our application with the suggested changes
from the charity commission.
Due to COVID-19 pandemic, many of our activities on local, national
and international levels were held online.
At a local level,branches advertised our national events and also did
many online workshops and webinars for their local members. They
found it difcult to recruit new members as all events were online and
lack of physical freshers to showcase the work of SfGH.
Nationally,we continued to act as a platform for like-minded
students dedicated to improving health worldwide through education,
advocacy, community action, and training focussed on our vision of a
fair and just world in which equity in health is a reality for all; thus
facilitating the personal and professional development of students'
skills in striving towards the charity vision.

Education: 2 National Conferences, on the theme of ‘response
to health confict and peacebuilding’ and ‘breaking barriers;
social determinants of health’. The two general assemblies also
had themes of ‘displacement’ and ‘the price of life: the secret
monopolyon our medications’. Launch of Global Health

Education in Schools project in a few participating local branches led by Global Health Education in Schools coordinator. A virtual freshers week was held in October 2020 to provide branches with information on the national, international and policy work of the charity. ● Advocacy and community action: Many online campaigns, workshops, webinars and events were conducted this year for: our coordinated theme ‘climate change and health’ and celebrating 10 international days. We worked with many external organisations this year to diversify our audience and get more non-medical students involved, especially as all of our events were online. This also resulted in attracting an audience from other countries to national events. Some of the external organisations we worked with are: Action for Global health (AfGH), The Climate Coalition, World Child Cancer, Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Health, KLYMA Action Malaysia, Germinis Art Project, MedAct etc.. We participated in the #HealthFutures Campaign with AfGH, Save the Children, Sightsavers, Action Against Hunger and more, calling on the foreign secretary to speak about #HealthForAll on Universal Health Coverage Day. With MedAct we ran a campaign on #HealthJustice means #ClimateJustice at COP26 and achieved more than 1300 signatures for our letter asking for a fairer, healthier ecologically sound future. We lead national #ActionoftheWeek to empower local branches to contribute to national priorities in global health. ● Training: various workshops at both national conferences, a digital training new trainers event, training workshops at the autumn and spring general assembly and regional training days. National committee and interested operational team members also attended public relations and communications training. ● Logistics: with aid of the SfGH coordinator, our only paid member of staff, creation of communications strategy, financial strategy and policy and advocacy strategy to help provide a framework for future national committees to follow and to continue the work implemented according to the long term development strategy, was possible. Creation of a membership database with database company salesforce and distribution of membership survey to get a more accurate picture of the membership of students for global health was also conducted. For the past year we have been receiving the Gates grant, which finished in the middle of 2021/22. For financial sustainability we reapplied for the Gates grant with AfGH and STOPAIDS.

International work was adapted as travel was not possible in the pandemic and therefore students couldn’t go on professional or research exchanges. In the meantime, national exchange and research exchange officers conducted an international webinar series covering the various work of the international federation of medical students’ associations (IFMSA) inviting speakers from the relevant IFMSA standing committees.

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

The charity’s second year carrying out the third 3-year Strategy Plan, has resulted in strengthening of the foundation of the network as well as detailed planning and implementation of longer-term projects. The charity's main achievements under the following headings are summarised below. Education - Two successful online national conferences hosted by SfGH University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN) and SfGH Newcastle. The conference in UCLAN saw over 70 students engaging in plenary discussion, workshops and training surrounding the theme of response to health conflict and peacebuilding. In Newcastle, the conference focussed on breaking barriers aiming to educate over 100 students on relevant issues and advocate for equity in access to healthcare worldwide. Our patron Sir Michael Marmot gave the keynote speech for the conference, highlighting his work on health equity and the Marmot report 10 years on. - The autumn national general assembly held online by SfGH Plymouth had plenaries discussing displacement. Branch members and affiliates inputted into the membership database formation process. Bylaw changes were made to reflect the charity's work on equality and diversity. PharmAware was disaffiliated as they had not been in contact with us for more than two years and a national working group on COP26 was formed. Memorandum of understanding signed with RSTMH and ACMA (Afro Caribbean medical association). Two policy statements on palliative and end of life care and climate change and health voted on by members and passed. - Global Health Short Courses continued to form a large part of the educational work at a branch and local member level, with many universities facilitating educational courses on various aspects of global health, devising content to educate hundreds of students across universities on issues rarely present in university curricula. Other educational events frequently held at a local level included plenary discussions, online webinars and workshops. All events were held online and face to face events held within COVID guidelines at the time. - The spring national general assembly held online by SfGH King’s College London and UAEM King’s College London saw representatives from branches inputting into the future direction of the charity through our democratic processes, enabling the election of new volunteer committee members and voting on relevant governance changes and policy statements on the standpoints of the charity on relevant global health issues. This was a joint national conference between SfGH and our affiliate UAEM, with plenaries and discussions surrounding access to medicines, big pharma, equitable covid-19 vaccine distribution. We also ran a campaign on #VaccineEquity with Global Justice Now. Bylaws regarding national committee roles were amended and added, memorandum of understanding between SfGH and MedAct and with SfGH and AMSI (association of medical students of Ireland) was updated and a new national working group on antimicrobial resistance created. We also made new with affiliations student led groups polygeia and planetary health report card. 15 policy statements were passed and new national committee members elected. We also welcomed two new trustees to the board. - To improve alumni engagement with current members, the alumni mentorship scheme was launched with 10 alumni mentoring interested mentees from across the SfGH branches. Aims of the 6 June 2022

mentorship scheme were to provide a view of how global health work can be incorporated into future careers after graduating from university.

explaining AMR poster prize competition, inviting members to create posters that explains antimicrobial resistance in lay terms to the general public. We used social media to our advantage and hosted two twitter chats, one for UN world elimination of violence against women day, on the topic of how we can prevent and respond to violence against women as global health professionals? and one on International women’s day which had women global health leaders providing their input on COVID-19 and the gender health gaps. The online nature of the year also helped bring voices from countries who we usually have not invited to SfGH events, for example for World Cancer Day, World Child Cancer’s Ghana regional coordinator Ayire Adongo spoke about her work with world child cancer and its importance in closing the health gap for children with cancer in LMICs. We also hosted an essay competition for World Cancer Day. For Universal Health Coverage Day we had guest blogs written for our website by Alan Taman from Doctors for the NHS, Sarah Walpole and Jan Savage from Keep our NHS public, and Heidi Chow from Global Justice Now, focusing on how outsourcing and privatisation reduces our efforts to provide Health coverage for All. Our training director 2020-21 Antonis Tofias also wrote a piece on outsourcing.

Training - Hundreds of hours of training were delivered to students all around the country at a local, national and international level through local university events, at national conferences, and sessions at international meetings. - One digital Training New Trainers event was held across the country. Over 20 students graduated from these training events, going on to deliver training locally, nationally, and internationally, on topics from personal development and welfare to public speaking and team-building.
