It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of @DrSophieJackson’s untimely passing. We're devastated and saddened to lose a cherished member of our disabled doctor network committee. We are grateful for the privilege of knowing Sophie and working alongside her.

Delighted to have been nominated for 3 different categories for the RCGP Inspire 2024 awards and shortlisted for one! Thank you to all my cheerleaders, your support has been invaluable 🙏🏽. Taking an untrodden path isn’t easy - I’m glad I’ve had you all by my side.

Sophie was more than a colleague; she was a compassionate, committed, and caring soul—a truly brave and fierce advocate. Her legacy will forever resonate in our hearts. Rest in peace, dear friend. 🌹
We are utterly devastated to share the news that Sophie passed away at the end of last year. Friends and family have set up a JustGiving page in her memory. Our intention is that the donations will go towards funding something in her name 🤍 @CotsForTots

The GMC has updated their Good Medical Practice. We at DDN used our lived experience & that of the drs we’ve supported to influence how the review is delivered. Disability is diverse however so please contribute here to share you views. https://t.co/BfO4zMOUx2.

We’ve published an updated version of Good medical practice. This sets out the standards of care and behaviour expected of all doctors, physician associates and anaesthesia associates.

Doctors with disabilities - whether visible or not - deserve much better support in the workplace. On today's International Day of Persons with Disabilities, watch our short video on their experiences. #DisabilityAwareness

On this International Day of Disability We pledge to compel Medicine to become more inclusive. Disability brings diversity, problem solving skills & compassion when it’s needed most. We are an asset not something to be feared or embarrassed about. #InternationalDisabilityDay2021
