This is my final placement as a medical student & it’s the first time I’ve felt immersed in a team. I am used on the ward round, as I am seeing the patients every day and know their history. This is what medical school should be like 🩺 #MedTwitter
@pedrarabiee@HLA_int The fact that you're having to soften your opinion with the parentheses at the end of your comment @pedrarabiee highlights the issue. You don't feel like you can be outspoken about what you want to be without qualifying it, that's not fair! #SayWhatYouWantToSay#EmpowerYourself.
@HLA_int I think it's important to consider what cultures we foster in healthcare. In medical school, we are bombarded with a culture and the hidden curriculum will likely play a huge part. Utilising that at every level of training and influencing mentors and trainees alike is key.
@HLA_int@WomeninHL What this seminar has made me consider, as an aspiring male ally, is what I can do to make myself KNOWN to be an ally, rather than 'stepping in' at every opportunity. I think I myself need to more widely consider what may be wanted of me from my female colleagues!
@drdomthompson hit the nail on the head in today's #WIHLwebinars on men advocating for women in healthcare. Even as a medical student, the number of times I've heard stories or even witnessed my female counterparts being discriminated against was crazy! #ItStartsWithEducation
@HLA_int@WomeninHL I think that it's so important because it genuinely makes no sense for there to be such an inequality in the first place! How can we champion a things like MDTs if we can't even treat each other equally?
@HLA_int@WomeninHL As was mentioned in the webinar, I think a lot of the household “mental load” still falls predominantly to females - even if the caring is split 50/50. I think that this can make it harder to take on more roles and responsibilities xx
@HLA_int@WomeninHL I do think that more than anything it is the workplace itself that needs to change. Attitudes and an environment which fosters feelings of self doubt or impostor syndrome are debilitating in any aspect of life, especially at your workplace! To paraphrase @drnish35#IAmNotATickbox
A stark contrast in today's #WIHLwebinars episode. The women advocating for surrounding yourself with love and affection when that isn't even afforded in a workplace environment centred on #gatekeeping and causing self doubt and lack of confidence. This needs to change!
@HLA_int@WomeninHL Again, amazing discussion that I just watched. The thing that hit home for me the most is this obligate need to conform to a standard when pursuing leadership positions. As if that's going to help drive development and improvement? #IfYouWannaWearLipstickYouWearLipstick

@HLA_int@MunchkinDr@dr_zo@WomeninHL I think the unfortunate reality, is that there is sexism in a number of forms in healthcare. I think that there needs to be a culture shift, it starts with education and people stopping and questioning themselves, constant evaluation and improvement!
