Come and join us in Birmingham on Friday 15th of May We have an excellent day of talks and networking and look forward to seeing you there!

Proudly SAS.

As the sun sets over this #InternationalWomensDay let's continue to celebrate all women & women doctors- now the majority of the medical workforce. But remember that celebrating them means fighting the gender pay gap every day, and for SAS women, the unacceptable fact here:

Dr Celia Bell is one of our @Mersey_Care #SASPsych doing a great job on the research project in secure division @RCPsychSASdocs

Women like Dr Lenka Kaluzova. #InternationalWomensDay #SASsix

Recognising the contribution of fantastic SAS women like psychiatrist Dr Emmeline Lagunes #InternationalWomensDay #SASsix

Celebrating wonderful SAS colleagues like Dr Noni Kamau, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #InternationaWomensDay #SASsix

Great to see @thesascollect members and #SASsix at @FMLM_UK today. Including a large proportion of medical workfoce has never been optional.

@crdc_ln Pathways into academic medicine for SAS doctors would be fab. Lots of us are women, many are international women scientists without a pathway in the UK. We have been campaigning for and would very much welcome @NIHRresearch's commitment to inclusive pathways into research.

Today is the International Day of Women & Girls in Science! Gail Melvin, CRDC Research Business Manager, says: “Women remain underrepresented in STEM. Supporting inclusive pathways into research is essential for building a diverse workforce for the future.” #IDWGS

Great to see commitment to equity and to doing what's right for all in the workplace, and its direct impact of seeing employers commit: 'I as a SAS pscyhiatrist feel seen and valued' - the touching words of our colleague Dr Chattopadhay @WeAreLSCFT

The College has today published a Position Statement that seeks to maximise the benefits of clozapine in patients with Treatment Resistant Schizophrenia (TRS). We urge clinicians to draw upon it to ensure suitable patients are initiated on clozapine in a timely way. 🖥️➡️ rcpsych.ac.uk/improving-care…
