Why is Physio not offered routinely on the NHS postpartum?
- state funded in France and other European countries
-essential for recovery, return to activity and mental health
- my partner was offered NHS Physio for a conservatively managed scapula fracture that he acquired mountain biking...

For the first time in the UK, registered women doctors now outnumber men. But...there still remains an imbalance in senior clinical, leadership and academic positions. Great progress but work to be done! @medicalwomenuk.bsky.social @womenspeakershc.bsky.social

We read this as "there is still so much work to do" #genderpaygap #genderbalance #equity
It's still 21.1%.

Twenty. One. Point. One. Percent.

*Excluding* CEOs, where the #GenderPayGap is 25%.

We must push on. 💪

Thank you for your support and allyship @briandolan.bsky.social and for promoting the work that we do!
Absolutely love this so much and please share🙏

I'll readily admit I've ruffled a few feathers over the years by refusing to sit on, or Chair, manels. I don't want to embarrass people, I just feel incredibly strongly about it.

@womenspeakershc.bsky.social @rosespenfold.bsky.social made me laugh in a few places but very good!
New blog post time!
Thinking about that perennial menace of the conference scene - "It's not really a question, more of a comment..."
Some thoughts about original Reply Guy and how to deal with him:
“It’s not really a question, more of a comment…” (A modest proposal for dealing with the original Reply Guys)
We've all met the original conference Reply Guys, but what can we do to make participation better for everyone?
