It’s 2023 and I hear today that people are still telling female trainees they can’t do PHEM if they have (or plan to have) children. I can provide evidence that it’s simply not true. If you hear someone saying this shit, please call them out.

It is a disgrace. And just because you haven't seen or experienced any of it does not make the facts less shocking. We all need to read this, reflect and be better. The change starts with me.

Most countries don't have one, they don't prioritise diversity and so women suffer from getting posts.
*The solution?*
Let's promote less than full time work!

Every single time I tell a stranger that I'm training to be a surgeon, they ask me whether many surgeons are women.
It reminds me how important #WomenInSTEM is.

It was brilliant to join this panel today, I have been so fortunate to have many people filling these important roles in my life. This is the 2nd @RCEMevents study day I have attended this year & I have been so inspired by the speakers & topics, what an amazing speciality EM is!
Thanks.
Such a pleasure to join @RCEMevents at @GEE_in_EM day
Well done @PRIYAMARATHE10 for bringing this all together.
Life indeed is a river and about creating momentum to create equality & equity in gender …
And race !
