About Society for Endocrinology

The Society for Endocrinology are a membership organisation that brings together the global endocrine community and educates scientists, clinicians, nurses, policy makers, patients and the general public about the science of hormones.

Their aim is to engage and support members and to advance scientific and clinical endocrine education and research. Their employees have extensive experience within the biomedical sector and the Society for Endocrinology offers support to staff at every stage of their career.

All workers are invited to the annual Company 360 event, which is held offsite and lasts two days. Everybody has the opportunity to contribute and to feel involved. The aim is to develop people’s understanding of the organisation and to address any issues, as well as providing a fun experience for the entire workforce. The most recent Company 360 ended with a team drumming workshop and a company-wide hakka.
