Wow This is why doctors are striking

Study of female surgeons finds they were passed over for surgical referrals, paid less for equivalent procedures and given less time in the operating room, They also had to use tools too large for their hands as surgical spaces & tools were built for men. mcgill.ca/newsroom/chann…

Men wonder why we started @WIMIN_UK when there are “so many women in medicine”. Yes at the start but not at the end & not in medico/politico/ academic roles. We become invisible as @RCPhysicians beautifully illustrate here ⬇️ Just RT until we make more noise it won’t change!

A new meta-analysis published this month in Annals suggests that patients treated by female surgeons have lower mortality than those treated by male surgeons. journals.lww.com/annalsofsurger…

@APullyblank Indeed she does. If this goes through then the rules need to be carefully thought through so vulnerable people are protected.

She makes an excellent point

A group of women rallied in London in solidarity with Ahoo Daryaei, the Iranian activist detained after protesting university harassment over hijab rules. She is now in a mental institution, likely facing torture.

She stripped away their control. Now, they want her silenced. Say her name. Share her story. Show the world her courage! ✊ #AhooDaryaei #آهودریایی

@natyouthchoir @Karakelcomposer @joannaconductor @LucyJoyMorris @K_Tunnicliffe @AdamHope_Music Shame she wasn’t. Thank you though. Is a beautiful recording.

@rcullwick @Karakelcomposer @joannaconductor @LucyJoyMorris @K_Tunnicliffe @AdamHope_Music Willow was recorded on this year's spring course in Escrick, so if your daughter was on that course then she's almost certainly on this track 🌱

Listen to the latest recordings by our 9-15s singers as they bring @Karakelcomposer's beautiful commissions to life! 🌿 'Willow' transforms the tree into a symbol of protection, while 'Snowdrop' captures the flower’s resilience with words by @Karakelcomposer and Karen Hayes 🌸

One year from @wpsms_org important study what has changed? Today @NHSEngland launched the Sexual Safety Charter Assurance Framework. Thanks to Prof Carrie Newlands & @nizbuzz Tamzin Cuming making this happen. @RCSnews leading the way.

I love how this event happens at least twice a year

@joannaconductor @natyouthchoir @nmcrecordings Erin is going to miss you so much! I do hope you will still be involved with the 9-15 choir!

After 5 years, my time as Principal Conductor with @natyouthchoir comes to an end. I'll still be part of the NYC family: several projects lined up in the Autumn including conducting the Emerging Professional Artists with @nmcrecordings. What a wonderful team I've worked with!

Impact of an appendicolith and its characteristics on the severity of acute appendicitis ➡️doi.org/10.1093/bjsope… This study reports a statistically significant association between a larger appendicolith diameter and complicated acute appendicitis, but no cut-off value for appendiceal diameter for the increased risk of complicated appendicitis could be determined and even in the group of patients with appendicoliths having a diameter of 1–3 mm almost half of the patients had complicated appendicitis.

If you have a few moments to listen to this interview as a parent with your child. Possible one of the best post race interviews I have ever watched #PlayOn

Earlier this month, Damien was one of the first patients at @SFHFT to receive a new portable pump that gradually releases treatment and helps control symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Taken just days apart, these clips show what Damien's life was like before and after treatment.

@APullyblank As good as? Better than surely……?!

More evidence that female surgeons have good outcomes. To be honest I am happy that the studies show we are as good as men. I don’t want this to be a competition but delighted anyway!
