Really excited to be talking on such an important topic in this podcast 🤰🏼🦴

@DuckworthOrthEd, @Catrin_Morgan1 & @LillingtonPod discuss all this in a new #BJJ podcast episode.

“It is essentially horrific. You are expected to be in work before and after childcare settings are open.”
Various challenges can make combining parenthood with a career in surgery a tough option. How can surgery change? bmj.com/content/380/bmj.p449
