I have returned to twitter/X today to celebrate this breakthrough. The next President of the RCS England will be voted for by the RCSEng membership and fellows. @WomenSurgeonsUK @RCSnews @VictoriaPegna #Diversity
Exciting news! Our Council has voted in favour of all of the Kennedy Report's governance recommendations.
All eligible fellows and members can now elect the President and Vice-President.

"Virulent institutional misogyny"
is how @ScrubSurvivors' Becky Cox terms the surgical environment. It can and must change. #MeTooSurgery @wpsms_org

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

Report calling for right to independent investigation after reports and consequences for perpetrators of sexual misconduct - not happening at the moment #MeTooSurgery
Harrowing new research from @UniofExeter & @UniOfSurrey working with @wpsms_org has revealed the extent of sexual misconduct within the UK surgical workforce in the last five years.

Women and men are living different realities: sexual misconduct in surgery is real and needs independent investigation

Returning to Twitter after a break because of the consultant strike. I'm on strike to support the NHS and pay restoration for consultants - or there will be no NHS for the future #ConsultantStrike #BMA
Striking because we love the NHS and can't bear to see it starved to death. In solidarity with junior doctors, nurses and all our NHS colleagues. We are committed. We care. We all deserve fair pay.
#consultantstrike @TheBMA
The working party on sexual misconduct in surgery meeting yesterday at the GMC was a great show of collaboration from @RCSnews @RCSEd @gmcuk @NHSEmployers @NHSEngland @rcpsglasgow @TheBMA @RCoANews and others in beginning the difficult task of culture change.
An excellent start
Only 5/24 women. To those who can, use your vote, and improve RCSEng #Diversity @WomenSurgeonsUK

Happy International Women’s Day! Celebrate tonight with WINS @RCSnews and share your stories! #EmbraceEquality #ILookLikeASurgeon #liftasyouclimb #surgery #surgeons
Such an honour to chair this session with the amazing Prof Averil Mansfield and hear the insightful and provocative words of Prof Rhea Liang #IWD2023 @WomenSurgeonsUK @UKWENTs @OrthoWomen
Much to do.
Yes this is what we need to see! Happy #IWD2023 all
Perhaps you can persuade @RCSnews today to follow the same path? Ethnic and Gender diversity has never been one of their strong points! Kennedy recommendations have been ignored. Some continue to fight the fight @VictoriaPegna @nizbuzz whilst others remain silent. We need help!
