Back from maternity leave with a bang!
Huge thanks to @vittoria_mollie & @NandW_LMNS for hosting a baby loss awareness learning event today.
Proud that the agenda was based on staff & service user feedback and included lots of local baby loss support providers.

This open letter on NHS misogyny & sexual harassment from 4 of the most senior women in UK medicine is quite something.
Please read the whole, grim
thing. It is *so* important this is being said out loud. #MeToo

Thanks @OrthopodReg - other men please ally up. This is what we need those of you who identify as good guys to do right now. Because weโre exhausted.

Hey @thetimes
You appear to have published a hateful piece of sexist, misogynist tosh.
It also appears to be apologist for bullying, sexual harassment, sexual assault
What you permit, you promote;
You promote gender based violence.
Do better

Yesterday we learned of the disgusting sexual abuse female surgeons experience in the NHS.
Today, writing in the Times, recently retired anaesthetist Peter Hilton unintentionally shows exactly why disgusting sexual abuse in the NHS still thrives & prospers. Un - be - lievable.

Dr Hilton speaks on behalf of some of the surgeons who trained me, and the men sexually harassing trainees as we speak.
They think it is their right to abuse us. That we should take it in our stride.
Now do you believe is when we say this is rife in the NHS?

This is a misconception about resilience that we tackle directly in the @RACSurgeons #OperateWithRespect course, which is mandated for all surgeons in leadership positions.
Resilience is not โput up and shut upโ. Resilience is SPEAKING UP and working towards a safe culture. ๐คจ๐ช

Literally 100s of women have shared their experiences
There are no doubt 100/ 1000s more who have not
If you wonder why women don't come forward about these issues- read this letter @thetimes

If this generation of female surgeons are snowflakes, then sexual abusers working in the NHS should know that winter is coming.

5 weeks since @UKPowerNetworks dug up our drive and still no further forward with details of a repair. The latest suggestion to repair our resin bound gravel drive was to fill the gap with red bricks?? Still waiting to hear from the legal team, 4 weeks after the first meeting

This is not just about sexual assault and harassment
Itโs about the culture of impunity and bullying that allows these attitudes and behaviours to flourish
It ALL needs to change
For all diverse surgeons

As a response to my article in The Times @AmandaPritchard @SteveBarclay etc demanded action on sexism in medicine
This provided impetus & accountability for organisations to engage more strongly on the issue
A multi stakeholder meeting arranged
And Iโm not invited
The irony

If your pay had dropped in real terms like those of doctors, youโd be striking too.
The facts speak for themselves.
The Govt has to invest in its talent, otherwise the talent resigns, migrates and retires early
Itโs really just basic economics

Our junior doctors ๐ฉบ strike tomorrow over #payrestoration
As consultants we told them they are supported 100%
Weโve produced a rota staffed by consultants to keep our service and patients safe. We had more volunteers than slots.
We are all with you
