Today the article that I co-authored with a wonderful group of women has finally been published! It takes a global approach towards racial diversity in paediatric medicine and provides action points that people can utilise.

@FawazArshad Sounds like it was super tough this year. I’ve always thought you were awesome and I’m sure the PICM Gods will realise this too next year. Enjoy your holiday!

@Hermesparcels I’ve lost an extremely expensive Christmas via your services and am unable to speak to a real person about it as your entire customer service team is automated. I would appreciate being contacted by an actual employee of Hermes in order to address this issue.

The term Mongolian Blue Spots is no longer considered appropriate. In conjunction with guidance from the British Association of Dermatology the preferred nomenclature should be Congenital Dermal Melanocytosis. Our literature will be updated to reflect this change in terminology.

@NTGovHealth can you please confirm that returning a rental car to the airport is not one of the reasons to leave your home.

Bargain car rental at Darwin airport are pressuring me to do so and don’t like the “excuse” that we’re in lockdown…

There’s often a lot of rhetoric about respecting and supporting Australia’s traditional landowners. However these communities need our tangible support of their charities, businesses and vulnerable people.

Skin Deep desperately needs more diverse pictures of people with lupus so that Med Ed can be improved and hopefully lead to earlier diagnosis and management. Please email [email protected] to get in touch. 🙂

Activism and engagement looks different for different people. This essay is an important read regarding the realities of life in Myanmar at present and the ways in poetry can be a mighty form of protest. https://t.co/MicWGTUbS0

The astounding @WeAreThePSC had a chat with me about @DFTBSkinDeep and the health inequalities faced by individuals from ethnically minoritised backgrounds. Have a listen. Hopefully it will inspire you to engage with, and support, more diverse resources
