Ahead of #IWD2023 , we celebrate @WarPATH_GHR investigator @ChristineSekag1 who is a great role model for junior clinicians and scientists. @MPUoL @derekjsloan @IDIMakerere @NIHRglobal @medicalwomenuk
Uganda's female hematologists are breaking barriers and inspiring a new generation of women in medicine. With only three female hematologists in the country, these women are leading the way in a field traditionally dominated by men. @MugenyiHenry_

We look forward to sharing key insights into safe anticoagulation with the medical Senior House Officers in Kampala this evening - drawing from experience of @WarPATH_GHR. This really is a neglected area of increasing importance - and these teaching sessions are of great value.

@WarPATH_GHR investigator @CatrionaWaitt from @IDIMakerere working with local communities on reporting adverse drug reactions.
Enjoying preparing a talk on 'Pharmacovigilance in LMIC' for #Pharmacology2021. Here, showing some friends how to report their own adverse drug reactions using the @UNDAuthority #MedSafety App. Virtual conferences bring challenges, but also some interesting opportunities!
