About Women in Hypertension Research Network
Welcome to the Women in Hypertension Research Network!
The Network has been established by the ISH Women in Hypertension Research Committee (WiHRC) to encourage, support and inspire women in science and medicine in the field of hypertension and related cardiovascular diseases. It aims to allow new avenues for communication, collaboration and education.
Mission and Committee Members
ISH is committed to encouraging, supporting and inspiring women in science and medicine in the field of hypertension and related cardiovascular diseases.
Mission statement
- Our focus is to promote women scientists and clinicians so that they can fulfil their career aspirations in the field of hypertension and related cardiovascular diseases.
- We will provide a platform for networking and mentoring to enable women hypertension researchers to maximise career opportunities. In particular we will reach out to those who do not have formal mentoring support.
- We will recognise and promote the successes of women in the hypertension community.
- We aim to involve all ISH members in promoting equal opportunities for women in science and medicine based on merit.
Spotlight
The goal of the spotlight is to provide an international platform to promote outstanding women working in hypertension research, learn about their scientific interests/achievements and to tell their personal story.
