BBC's Parliamentary reporter Susan Hume told us in detail what Suella Braverman was wearing right down to - or up to - her earrings but left us in the dark about what Yvette Cooper, or indeed any of the male MPs, were wearing. We need to be told. #r4today

Surely we can do better than a massive majority male faculty at a conference primarily aimed at changing the way women look? I’m surprised this got past #TheRoyalSocietyOfMedicine - not to mention the endorsers of this course… Women in Surgery WomenInSurgeryUK BAPRASvoice

Emily Mills Women in Surgery WomenInSurgeryUK BAPRASvoice Profoundly concerning this issue persists as we roll well into 2024. UK equality law plays a pivotal role. Every organisation registered with the Charity Commission should have a comprehensive policy framework for 'visibility in diversity/inclusion', a basic foundational premise!

Now ideally id like there to be 50% gender equity- but lets looks at plastics numbers According to a bmj paper 2020 Consultant body is 20% women Registrar body is 40% women So with that in mind this still GROSSLY underrepresents women in this specialty
