Surely we can do better than a massive majority male faculty at a conference primarily aimed at changing the way women look? I’m surprised this got past #TheRoyalSocietyOfMedicine - not to mention the endorsers of this course… @WomenSurgeonsUK @SurgeryWomen @BAPRASvoice

Sometimes I feel like I’m living in an alternate reality Am I imagining all the injustices women face in this career? But occasionally the rest of the world sees what we have to deal with - be it sexual assault or questioning our outcomes - and I remember that I’m not

Time for change is now.
This is just the beginning We know this is under reported, under investigated. The culture of silence and blame persists But now the “we need more data” brigade need to listen & accept the uncomfortable truth #medtwitter #surgery #rape #sexualassault
