What an amazing lineup for #IWD2025 - we’re having a great Q&A session - the future of women in healthcare is in good hands!

Next up we are joined by NHS National Medical Director for Secondary Care Ms Stella Big

Outcomes are often poorer for women, morse so if they are deprived. This has a cost to the individual and society.

Lovely to see the late Dr Rose Polge acknowledged 👩‍⚕️

Next up for RA-UK & @octopus.energy is Ophthalmologist Ms Sarah Maling

Ophthalmology leads the way in female representation amongst surgical specialties

Only 7% 👩‍⚕️ in T&O

But their work is far from done…gender equity is a leadership issue

We’re live!

Dr Naomi Freeman starts our #IWD2025 morning

☺️ 64% of medical students are female
😕 But only 38% of Consultants in anaesthesia

🤔 What’s happening? If they’re not getting the same experience how can they progress at the same rate?

I don’t really know who this guy is, but I ❤️ the clip! A majority white English audience respond to an old skool Bhangra classic by getting up and dancing! 🕺

When you’ve got people unscrewing light bulbs on this scale, you know there’s more love than hate in the UK 🥹
