It is still impossible for me to understand how meetings can NOT include even 1 woman in their meeting. This #cardiology meeting called the London Core Review Meeting on #CTSurgery has 0 #women ...is it any wonder we have so few women in this field? bit.ly/3rjJ61W

Junior doctor pay has fallen by 22.4% in real terms since 2008/9 and will fall further. The plight of a relatively well-paid profession might not move the public, but this massive decline is having a huge impact on recruitment, retention and, ultimately, the health service.
