@docib @unibirmingham @DrWillMurdoch @DRMSurgeon Ofc, but I ain’t organising this one!! x

@BrMenopauseSoc @BreastDocUK A fantastic lecture!🙏🏻

[Sarah Ball @SarahBall14]

Refreshing to hear a balanced lecture about the use of HRT after breast cancer by @BreastDocUK Frustrating that evidence remains so suboptimal & unlikely to change anytime soon #bms #bmsconference2023

[Sarah Ball @SarahBall14]

@Liz_ORiordan NOT because of ‘influencers’ (the ones you mention @MichaelBaum11 @katietaylorbaum have made invaluable contributions to women’s health). Post pandemic admin and health factors, cramped units, lack of privacy is the issue. Women need balanced info

[Sarah Ball @SarahBall14]

Great to hear testosterone replacement for women spoken about with enthusiasm and beyond the role of libido #testosteroneforwomen #EMAS2023

[Dr Louise Newson @drlouisenewson]

Really important words spoken by Dr Angela DeRosa 👏👏👏 #EMAS2023

[Sarah Ball @SarahBall14]

Fantastic to see Sleep Disordered Breathing talked about at #EMAS2023. Thank you @cshufeltMD for acknowledging this in the context of ‘meno-cardiology’

[Michael Baum @MichaelBaum11]

New research explains why women suffer more from Alzheimer's disease than men. It's linked to oestrogen depletion during menopause. Another argument in support of HRT. https://t.co/w6vcGH2zEp

Nobody wants to read this rubbish in the Mail on Sunday 😞

[Rewriting midlife and menopause @MenoScandal]

This is factually inaccurate and in today’s Mail on Sunday @DMAILhealth from @Dr_Ellie Cannon. Please correct this asap Dr Cannon - any medical textbook will have the correct information. This is gaslighting of the worst sort. And please retweet 🔥https://t.co/C4RfLQ7riw

@drhannahshort You may be adding a very short term tiny burden eg prescription advice. But medium and long term you almost certainly are going to vastly reduce the NHS consultations and treatment for multiple chronic disease that those patients go on to need

[Sarah Ball @SarahBall14]

@BVGSRowing It’s so great you put on these sessions for the boys - Jack D loves them! 🙏🏻

[Sarah Ball @SarahBall14]

We need more of these type of supportive conferences #WomenInMedicine @WIMIN_UK @NHMenoSociety

[𝑫𝒓 𝑵𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑨𝒓𝒊𝒇 @DrNighatArif]

So many incredible things shared, learnt and appreciated @NHMenoSociety @WIMIN_UK conference.

Here are the highlights.

Thank you to everyone who organised it, came to it and participated.

I feel proud to have been a small part of it.

[Sarah Ball @SarahBall14]

@DrNighatArif @NHMenoSociety @WIMIN_UK So wonderful to see you! Great to be all working in the same direction of normalising and encouraging conversations about #WomensHealth #WomenInMedicine

[Sarah Ball @SarahBall14]

Working in medicine can be tough. Additional challenges for women in those roles. Great opening session at Creating an Environment for Women to Thrive in Medicine Conference - the importance of socialising for our health. @WIMIN_UK @NHMenoSociety @drlouisenewson #WomenInMedicine

@WelliesAndWool @JohnG_UK @danreisel Thank you 🙏🏻

Clearly having a civil, constructive debate aiming at progressing health is wasted here.

@pash22 @susan_bewley @WelliesAndWool @anniedorrell2 @JohnG_UK @jimgthornton @PharmRJ @BarneyCalman @KarenMagraith @janewilcock @Liz_ORiordan @dr_musgrave @mgtmccartney @rcgp @MartinRCGP @morris_ep @danreisel @lfinikarides @TomPMarshall @alf_collins @drlouisenewson ‘Stand around’? You mean look after my family and patients (as my priorities over social media)? 1 day, if it hasn’t already happened, somebody will take their own life as a result of this type of thing. When the sad irony was they were trying to prevent that outcome for others.

@pash22 @susan_bewley @WelliesAndWool @anniedorrell2 @JohnG_UK @jimgthornton @PharmRJ @BarneyCalman @KarenMagraith @janewilcock @Liz_ORiordan @dr_musgrave @mgtmccartney @rcgp @MartinRCGP @morris_ep @danreisel @lfinikarides @TomPMarshall @alf_collins @drlouisenewson I am overwhelmingly struggling to comprehend the vindicative nature of attacks levelled towards those (including myself) who are trying to improve healthcare. So very 😢

@susan_bewley @WelliesAndWool @anniedorrell2 @JohnG_UK @jimgthornton @pash22 @PharmRJ @BarneyCalman @KarenMagraith @janewilcock @Liz_ORiordan @dr_musgrave @mgtmccartney @rcgp @MartinRCGP @morris_ep @danreisel @lfinikarides @TomPMarshall @alf_collins @drlouisenewson Seems like an entirely inappropriate hashtag for a course which has been given free to 26000 healthcare professionals with the aim of improving menopause care globally?

[Sarah Ball @SarahBall14]

@Liz_ORiordan @shazm0 @FourteenFish The long term follow up of the WHI study, the Cochrane review (Boardman et al), 2016 and the Finnish study (Mikkola et al)

[The UTI Doctor 💙 @DrAFocusMedical]

This, exactly this, well said Dr Ball - maybe the patient wanted not only to reduce unpleasant symptoms but reduce the risks of the main life limiting pathologies that hasten death ?
