Getting Started

"Many of the UK's 160,000 women doctors have untapped expert potential to improve health, prevent unwarranted interventions and lead teams". Unleashing the talent of women doctors can improve everyone's health. My article in @bmj.com. www.bmj.com/content/388/... @medicalwomenuk.bsky.social

For the first time in the UK, women doctors outnumber men. The General Medical Council’s register of doctors with a licence to practise has now reached over 50% women. This is a huge milestone. medicalwomensfederation.org.uk/news/women-d...
