@DrEilidhMaria As a child in school in a S.Wales mining valley I was told medicine was not for the likes of me! Luckily my grandfather said ‘the only person who can decide your future is YOU - so believe in yourself!’ I became a Consultant and Hon Professor in Edinburgh!

Women belong👏 in all places👏 where decisions👏 are being made👏. Today we remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg, US Supreme Court Justice. #RBG was a champion for justice and paved the way for gender equality so more women can have a seat at the table. Her legacy lives on. #OnThisDay
