Women Empowering Women Conference launched today

March 8, 2019

Today is International Women’s Day and we are proud to launch an inspirational one day conference entitled “Women Empowering Women”  which will be held at City Post Grad on the 22 May 2019.

To find out more about the conference we caught up with Deputy Medical Director Sarb Clare to find out more,

“After spending significant time and energy supporting/counselling female and male juniors, peers and seniors and a middle of the night, a lightbulb moment told me it was time for a movement and the West Midlands Women In Medicine was born.

This day is to empower and inspire the future generation of female physicians! We will show them ‘You can be what you see!!”

We aim to get juniors, CMT’s into high acuity specialties such as acute medicine, cardiology and intensive care and demonstrate and share that the experience of the Medical SpR role is the highlight of a physician’s career!

We have multiple workshops ranging from management and leadership to becoming a Med SpR to LTFT working and having babies to self- care!

We are honoured to have Prof Henrietta Bowden Jones OBE President Of the Medical Women’s federation  and Dr Emma Vaux who is RCP Senior Censor and Vice President in Education and Training  speaking as well as an amazing regional female faculty including Lieutenant Col Ngozi Dufy and Dr Liz Sapey from QEH !
