International Women’s Day 2020: 8 March

March 6, 2020

Sunday 8 March marks International Women’s Day 2020 which is especially important for our Trust as 78 per cent of our colleagues are female.

International Women’s Day is a global celebration of the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women – while also marking a call to action for accelerating gender balance.

This year’s theme is #EachforEqual which encourages challenge towards stereotypes, fighting bias, broadening perceptions, improving situations as well as celebrating women’s achievements.

Be sure to check out the short video featuring Dr Sarah Faloon, core medical trainee and Dr Sarb Clare, consultant physician in acute medicine talking about the importance of International Women’s Day and the recent Women’s Clinicians Network Conference they were part of.

The next conference is due to take place on 8 July at City Hospital and is entitled ‘Survival Of The Fittest – Menopause Like Madonna’. For more information please contact sclare@nhs.net.
