Local Events

Global health on your doorstep

SfGH at Dundee Fresher’s Fair, 2025

Our university branches organise events throughout the year, shaped by the interests of students and the global health issues that matter to their communities.

From expert talks, panel discussions and practical workshops to film screenings, journal clubs, campaigns and socials, local events offer an accessible way to explore new ideas, meet like-minded students and get involved with Students for Global Health.

National Conferences each year

Our national conferences bring together students, academics, clinicians, policymakers and partners to explore major global health challenges and turn learning into action.

Our programme continues throughout the year, with opportunities to learn new skills, meet students across the network and take action on the issues that matter to you.
