Happy #IWD2022!! We have a special episode of The Medical Women Podcast for you today celebrating the 80 medical women who have been Presidents of MWF over 105 years. We hear from 21 of them and share the stories of those who are no longer with us anchor.fm/medicalwomen
#OnThisDay in 1917, a group of medical women met at a tavern by the Thames and set up the Medical Women's Federation with the aim of supporting women doctors in their careers. Bearing in mind in 1917, they were not allowed to vote or have a bank account in their own name

An all female surgical team in vascular theatre today. Worthy of addition to #ilooklikeasurgeon ! All happen to also be mothers and wives so don’t let anyone make you feel like you can’t do this! You can. #ouh

Tips from @NeenaModi1 "Be true to yourself and know what you want" "Ask yourself what you want to achieve. Think about the time constraints". Don't let anyone decide what you want to do, make that decision yourself. Think of yourself in the future looking back at your career.
Today, March 8th marks International Women’s Day, a day to celebrate the achievements of women and raise awareness about gender equality #IWD2021

(1/4) The MWF welcomes the long-awaited release of “Mend the Gap” and the commitment from the Secretary of State “to tackle the gender pay gap". The report confirms that on average, pay of women doctors is 12%-19% less than men accounting for differences in hours worked

Scotland has become the first country in the world to provide free period products for all who need them. We hope England and the rest of the UK follow soon - please RT if you do too
Proud to vote for this groundbreaking legislation, making Scotland the first country in the world to provide free period products for all who need them. An important policy for women and girls. Well done to @MonicaLennon7 @ClydesdAileen and all who worked to make it happen
