#AXSChat – November 27th – Dr Hamied Haroon.

Dr Hamied Haroon gained his PhD in biomedical magnetic resonance imaging at The University of Manchester in 2005 and has worked there as a Research Associate since then. When Hamied became a member of staff he was shocked when all the support available to him as a disabled student suddenly disappeared! He was elected Chair of the University’s Disabled Staff Network when it was established in 2006/2007.

In 2014, Hamied launched the National Association of Disabled Staff Networks (NADSN), an umbrella “super-network” for disabled staff networks in institutions of higher and further education, although open to any interested organisation.

In March 2018, Hamied joined two other esteemed disabled academics to deliver the Annual Disability Lecture at the University of Cambridge.
