This International Women’s Day, I’m reflecting on my 12 year career and celebrating every woman who has been underestimated, dismissed, or told to “know her place.” Here’s to the women who were told they couldn’t. And did it louder, sharper, and better than anyone expected.

"Ending corridor care requires whole‑system patient-flow ownership, not shifting delays from one part of the pathway to another." Our MD @AnnaParry12 welcomes @NHSEngland's letter to all trust chiefs, for a renewed focus on eliminating corridor care. > aace.org.uk/news/aace-welc…

This year the theme for International Women’s Day is “give to gain” and so we celebrate the women who share their knowledge and expertise with the EMS community. It takes a system to save a life. #internationalwomensday2026
