What an incredibly insightful evening yesterday with @liangrhea.bsky.social @scarlettmcnally.bsky.social We explored how systemic #genderbiases continue to shape clinical practice, workplace culture & health outcomes in medicine @medicalwomenuk.bsky.social @collegeofsurgeons.bsky.social

MWF Quote of the Month - July 2025 This months quote is a powerful reminder of the importance of supporting other women. True progress is built when women stand together and lift each other up.

When we start with inclusion we design a system that meets our goals. So often we ‘retrofit’ onto a system that ends up one size fits no one. also liked the clarification around patriarchy as system not gender stereotype. Thank you @liangrhea.bsky.social @medicalwomenuk.bsky.social @idrf.bsky.social

Delighted to meet not one but two of my heroes @liangrhea.bsky.social and @scarlettmcnally.bsky.social for tonight’s lecture @medicalwomenuk.bsky.social @collegeofsurgeons.bsky.social at the Medical Society of London

To a room full of women doctors @medicalwomenuk.bsky.social conference, what better message than to be wary of those who insist we always #bekind. Kindness is precious; so is truth and timely dissent to benefit our patients. Beware ‘kindwashing’ in medicine. From the inimitable @doctoroxford.com
