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.

@cheamfields @thenhenews @steve_r76 @DandA_inclusion @DWPgovuk @DisRightsUK @NHS_DNDN @NHSE_Diversity This is so sad. Words fail us. These important topics need to pushed way UP the agenda, not down. @NHSE_Paul @AmandaPritchard @gmcuk @TheBMA

@thenhenews @steve_r76 Bittersweet given the #HEE funded service, by @DandA_inclusion which supported Trainee medics with #ADHD & Disability on @DWPgovuk Access2Work Grant still hasn’t had NHS support confirmed 2023/24 diversityandability.com/nhs-toolkit/ @disableddoctors @DisRightsUK @NHS_DNDN @NHSE_Diversity

📢 #NHS England (NHSE) has announced that the co-chairs for its new ADHD Taskforce will be Cardiff University’s Professor Anita Thapar and Joanna Killian, from the Local Government Association. 🧐 The idea of the taskforce is to bring together experts from the #healthcare, government, education, charity, and justice sectors to gain a better understanding of the challenges faced by those with ADHD. 🚨 NHSE says the members will be appointed in due course and the taskforce will report this year.

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.

@jagtarbasi @ApnaNhs @DrHNaqvi @NHSProviders @julianhartley1 Let's hope in light of @braphumanrights report on racism #NHS & @rogerkline involvement in NHS EDI plans, there is time to reflect & think on decision of new @NHSE_WTE to de-prioritise #Race & #Disability equality in policy making & promised race-pay-gap! @disableddoctors

I agree but a targeted approach is required rather than saying more needs to be done let’s help and support those at the wrong end of all the Race equality league tables @ApnaNhs @DrHNaqvi @NHSProviders @julianhartley1

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. 🌹
