The Centre actively promotes equality of opportunity for men and women. To encourage more women to aim for senior posts, successful women scientists are regularly invited to speak about their careers and advise young women working here. In 2017 the Nuffield Department of Medicine was awarded a renewed Athena Swan Silver award, recognising good practice in recruiting, retaining and promoting women in science, technology, and medicine.

My Family Care: University of Oxford has made a commitment to helping its employees manage their care responsibilities by partnering with My Family Care, a specialist provider of family friendly employee benefits. Work+Family Space is designed to give parents and carers the support they need, that best helps them combine work and family.
