BME Speed Friending: REP YOUR FLAG! (16/10/2026, 18:00)

Mon, 06 Jul 2026 10:48:42 +0100

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Our last speed friending event was a raging success, and this year we're joined by our SU President (and last year's BME officer!) and our new BME officer to help kick-start our first-ever BME Speed Friending event! This year, we have a "Rep Your Flag" theme, so if you can, come along dressed in the colours of your county's flags or bring a flag with you!

Come alone or bring people with you and get ready to mingle!

Although this event is targeted at BME students, we welcome ALL UWE students to come and join us!

Once again, those who come along can get a free soft drink token (free drinks limited, first come, first served)

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Once you arrive, you'll receive your drink token, which you can redeem at the bar for a free, non-alcoholic drink. Once everyone is seated, you will be instructed on how the event will work, and then you will be given 3-5 minutes to speak to the person in front of you. Once the time runs out, everyone will move one seat over, and the process will repeat. There will be a couple of breaks throughout the night, and there will be prompt cards across the tables to help start conversations!

There will also be space upstairs for board games and chatting if you decide to take a break or would prefer a lower-pressure environment.

If you have any accessibility needs we should know about, please email us at SUCommunity@uwe.ac.uk.

There is no pressure at all to dress up for this event; we want you to feel as comfortable as possible and to just enjoy yourself!

Once you arrive at Union 2, there will be Welcome reps in yellow T-Shirts who will greet you and let you know where to go for the event.

Although this event will be structured and it is recommended you join at the start of the event for instructions, if you arrive late, you can still easily join in on the fun!

If at any point of the evening you feel overwhelmed and need a quiet space, there will be a space upstairs where you can sit away from the event, and there will also be some board games if you would rather have a more relaxed environment to interact with other students.

This event is due to roughly finish around 9pm, but there is no pressure to stay until the end, and you are also more than welcome to stay after the event and continue chatting with others!

Students, Alcohol and Drug Survey Pizza Party - WIN £100! (FRENCHAY) (01/12/2026, 11:00)

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 15:16:40 +0100

As part of Drug and Alcohol Awareness Week, we will be promoting the Students, Alcohol and Drugs Survey created by NUS/SOS-UK, starting from November 16^th. We are committed to improving student wellbeing on campus so we need you to take part!

We will be hosting a pizza party on each campus for students to come along to fill out the survey and grab some pizza. Alternatively, if you're unable to complete the survey during the event, you can complete it in your own time, take a screenshot of the final page confirming you've completed it, and bring it to one of the parties for a slice of pizza to go!

If that wasn't reason enough to take part, SOS-UK is giving away a first prize of £100 to a lucky student, and another 5x £50 prizes to runners-up - so make sure you take part!

Drink Rethink Glenside – get a FREE Mocktail! (26/11/2026, 11:00)

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 12:28:54 +0100

Drink Rethink is a preventative approach empowering students to reflect on their drinking, allowing them to consider the risks associated with excessive drinking, and the benefits of cutting down. The intervention is delivered by fellow students who have been trained to use a nationally recognised evidence-based behaviour change tool.

Our Drink Rethink ambassadors will be in the Glenside SU Cafe space between 11:00-15:00, pop along to learn about our new wellbeing project and grab some free treats. This is a drop-by activity run by The Students' Union at UWE in collaboration with SOS-UK.

What To Expect:

Come along and have a chat with one of our student ambassadors - they will ask you to answer a few questions using AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test) which is a 10 question alcohol harm screening tool. Based on the score you get, you will get some advice on how to maintain good health as an alcohol drinker. At the end, you can help yourself to one of the selection of mocktails or other freebies we will have!

If you have any questions, would like to become a Drink Rethink Ambassador, or join our D&A Student Steering Group to shape our campaigns, gain work experience and make a difference on campus, please email SUCommunity@uwe.ac.uk

Virtual Epilepsy Education Part 2- for Student Nurses and Midwives (06/11/2026, 13:00)

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 14:11:27 Z

Epilepsy Action is hosting virtual events for Student Nurses and Midwives! Since epilepsy often isn’t covered enough at university, we’re offering sessions designed to boost confidence, build knowledge, and help future healthcare professionals feel prepared to support people with epilepsy. Perfect for students at any stage of their studies. We’ll be running two events, repeated twice throughout the year:

We know at Epilepsy Action epilepsy care isn’t always built into your nursing or midwifery training curriculum.Join us for a free practical 90-minute session designed specifically for student nurses and student midwives, where you'll hear about the lived experiences of people with epilepsy and share the best practice of how to care for them in your role as a nurse and or midwife. The speakers have an extensive knowledge and experience of working in a nursing or midwifery role and will share their experiences when caring for a person with epilepsy.

What You’ll Gain:

A clear understanding of the pathway to becoming an ESN
Insight into the roles, responsibilities, and impact of the ESN role
Information on career progression, training routes, and accreditation
Guidance on professional development requirements
First-hand experiences from practicing Epilepsy Specialist Nurses

Why Attend?

As an ESN, you’ll play a vital role in epilepsy care supporting patients, shaping treatment plans, monitoring medication, and acting as a key link between individuals and the wider healthcare system. This session is your opportunity to explore how you can make a meaningful difference in this specialist field.

When:

Part 2 : The role of the Epilepsy Specialist Nurse : 10AM-12PM 11 March and 1PM - 2PM 6 November

Where:

Online. Reserve your place through Eventbrite.

Virtual Epilepsy Education Part 1 - for Student Nurses and Midwives (27/10/2026, 10:00)

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 13:59:48 Z

What you'll learn:

Seizure Types: Understand the different types of seizures and how they present beyond the textbook.

Myth-Busting: Break down common misconceptions.

Medication: Discover how epilepsy medications work, the potential teratogenic effect of some anti-seizure medications and what side effects to watch for.

First Aid, Safety & SUDEP: Learn lifesaving first aid, safety protocols, and how to reduce the risk of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy.

The importance of Epilepsy Specialist Nurses: Get inspired by the diverse, specialist role of ESNs across patient pathways.

Meet Epilepsy Action: Learn how we support both healthcare professionals and those living with epilepsy and how you can get involved.

Why attend?

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological conditions, yet it’s often overlooked in nursing and midwifery education. Many students leave university knowing very little about the condition, the care it requires, or the specialist roles available in this field.

That’s exactly why you should attend.

Whether you're just starting out or nearing the end of your nursing or midwifery degree, this session will give you the essential, hands-on understanding of epilepsy that every future nurse or midwife should have.

When:

Part 1: The basics of epilepsy: 10AM - 12PM 3 March and 27 October

Where:

Online. Reserve your place through Eventbrite.
