Women In Surgery Scotland

@RCSnews Dame Clare Marx was so generous with her time and support when attending our conference as key note speaker. She was an exceptional surgeon and outstanding leader in our field and will be sorely missed by the whole surgical community. Our sincere condolences to her family.

With great sadness, we share the news that former RCS England President, Dame Clare Marx CBE, DL, MBBS, PRCS, has passed away. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Dame Clare: ow.ly/rQv850LOmcf

@smgriffin3 'Over half of state schools have had no applicants to medical school EVER' How do we address this and widen access to medicine? #medtwitter #DiversityandInclusion #wideningaccess
