Surely we can do better than a massive majority male faculty at a conference primarily aimed at changing the way women look? I’m surprised this got past #TheRoyalSocietyOfMedicine - not to mention the endorsers of this course…

1/2 Blood boiling 🥵 Yet another #Manel
I’m calling you out @RoySocMed @BAPRASvoice
Why do organisors and conference hosts use pics of all male faculty? Why not include your female experts?

@RoySocMed is there no policy on this being 100% male / Manel on the poster advert? 2024? @BAPRASvoice

Culture change is long overdue. These behaviours are repulsive, repugnant and illegal. They have career & life long consequences. It’s not banter, flirting, your right, asked for, whatever.

New research has found that sexual misconduct is rife among colleagues in the UK surgical workforce, with women disproportionately impacted and staff believing organisations are not doing enough to protect them. Read more at news.exeter.ac.uk/faculty-of…

Sometimes I feel like I’m living in an alternate reality
Am I imagining all the injustices women face in this career?
But occasionally the rest of the world sees what we have to deal with - be it sexual assault or questioning our outcomes - and I remember that I’m not

Time for change is now.
This is just the beginning
We know this is under reported, under investigated.
The culture of silence and blame persists
But now the “we need more data” brigade need to listen & accept the uncomfortable truth

It’s the culture 😞. The fear of victimisation is frequently proven to be valid, particularly in medicine, especially surgery, where people’s careers depend on their senior colleagues. The potential for abuse is even worse with the new MCR system. How do you address it @gmcuk?

Great interview from @nizbuzz
Nearly one in three female surgeons say they have been sexually harassed and assaulted by colleagues in the past five years.
