Today Patient Safety Learning stands with others around the world to celebrate #InternationalWomensDay. We explore 4 key areas of patient safety relating to women’s health, where we believe there is a need to #AccelerateAction. 🔗 www.pslhub.org/learn/patien... #IWD2025

Today is #InternationalWomensDay Progress on #GenderEquality in health care is too slow. Women have distinct & changing health needs at different stages of their lives. Health care should be easy to access, fair & tailored to meet each woman’s unique needs & circumstances. 🔗 bit.ly/3DmZQ2o

Happy #iwd2025 to all the wonderful women working in mental health pharmacy! Focusing on the need to Accelerate Action emphasizes the need to take swift & decisive steps to achieve gender equality. It calls for ⬆️ momentum & urgency in addressing the systemic barriers & biases that women face.
