This morning we had past pupil, Georgia Shelley, visit and give an inspirational talk to our Year 12’s about studying medicine at the University of Birmingham! Our Year 12’s found the talk very informative and engaging.
Thank you @geoshell_ for visiting us!
‘When I applied to medical school I remember being told one of the key perks of medicine was job security.
‘Unfortunately... this isn’t true anymore.’

I’m incredibly proud to say that my eldest daughter Jessica joined me on my podcast this week in a special episode on the importance of talking about hormones ahead of #WorldMenopauseDay tomorrow.
She talks about how she has helped many people by opening up their conversations about the menopause and hormones. She also talks openly about how she uses hormones to improve both her PMS and her migraines.
As I’m sure you’ll all know by now, this month we are on a mission to start the most menopause conversations – ever. Everyone’s menopause is individual and to help others understand and manage their menopause, we must break taboos, educate and start the conversation and I hope this episode goes some way to helping that. #PauseToTalk

Hi @gabyhinsliff
‘Junior’ doctors aren’t ‘young’
I am 37, have 2 children, founded and run multimillion pound organisations, have been training for 12 years, and operate on people independently
Would you call any other professional 12 years into their profession ‘junior’ ?
