It’s wonderful to see @RACSurgeons celebrating #IWD18 on SoMe. We still need to #PressForProgess to have a diverse workforce to meet the diversity in the communities we serve #WomeninSurgery #WomeninSTEM

Thank you @DanielleGuss for amendments in the latest update of the article!!
Replying to @DanielleGuss
@DanielleGuss thank your for the article up dating us in the tragic death of @DrMichaelMosley His wife is also a medical doctor but you refer to her Ms Mosley. As female journalist I hope it’s from ignorance not a gendered microaggression? adelaidenow.com.au/news/sear…

“The cost of equity” presented by @pringlmillermd and @VerranDeborah There is a lot of evidence which shows better outcomes with female doctors which led to @HarvardBiz writing “How Discrimination Against Female Doctors Hurts Patients” #RACS24 #patientsafety #equity

It’s now nearly 7 years @ozvascdoc - I hope things are better than they were back then!!
It's been a year since @RACSurgeons launched the "Let's #OperateWithRespect" campaign. Have we made a positive impact? #RACS17

I'm standing along with colleague Costa Boyages in the upcoming MIGA board election - we are a highly functioning board, so if you are a MIGA member please vote for stability and retain the sitting directors - we are supported by the board and chair @SParnis

An insightful plenary this morning @RACSurgeons ASM on Equity in Surgical Selection & Training. @DrIncoll highlighted 'invisible' barriers to diversity. We still have a long way to go to achieve equity. Thank you, chairs, @csl888 & Dr. David Walters. #RACS2023 #SurgicalEquity

This is why every Surgical Society in Australia has to present its gender data to @RACSurgeons “Associations that set and measured DEI goals for their leadership reported benefits from their efforts…” #RACS23 #womeninsurgery

Awesome #SAAS2022 panel about how “workers bees” become surgical leaders. Good leaders are great communicators/listeners, advocate for themselves and others, seek out diverse team around them, set the culture, and get things done. @AsianAcadSurg
