Student-led action for health equity

We equip students to understand health inequity, develop practical skills, influence change and participate in global health at every level.

Our work connects learning with action – from university branches across the UK to national advocacy and international representation.


Building the knowledge and skills to create change

Branches Training Day, London, October 2025

Our education programmes help students understand the forces that shape health and develop the confidence to respond.

Through national training, branch support, leadership development and schools outreach, we make global health education accessible, practical and student-led.


Turning evidence and experience into influence

SfGH at climate strikes, Glasgow, May 2019

We bring students together to research health inequities, develop policy and advocate for meaningful change.

From national working groups and public campaigns to parliamentary engagement, our members ensure student voices are heard by the people and institutions shaping health.


Creating spaces to learn, connect and collaborate

SfGH Spring General Assembly 2026, Edinburgh

Our branch and national events bring together students, practitioners, researchers, campaigners and organisations from across global health.

Attend a local workshop, join an online discussion or meet students from across the UK at one of our national conferences.


Connecting UK students with global opportunities

SfGH Delegation to EuRegMe 2026, Prague

As the UK member organisation of IFMSA, we connect students with an international network of medical-student organisations and global health opportunities.

Members can access international meetings, exchanges, training, leadership opportunities and representation at major global health forums.
