When we start with inclusion we design a system that meets our goals. So often we ‘retrofit’ onto a system that ends up one size fits no one. also liked the clarification around patriarchy as system not gender stereotype.
Thank you @liangrhea.bsky.social @medicalwomenuk.bsky.social @idrf.bsky.social

Absolutely this. Please can we invest in supporting families to enable them to give their children a healthy start in life. Affordable housing, food, access to outside space to play and so much more. Invest in education for all children that is inclusive and meets children’s needs…

The BBC & Telegraph are trailing Wes Streeting’s technophile health plans, including genomic mapping at birth.
Is this really gonna transform the NHS into a prevention service within 10 yrs, as Wes claims? For v rare genetic conditions, praps. But for the real burden of disease?

Thoughts, #medsky?

she agreed with an argument put forward…that it is "risky or …intimidating" to have a space designated for women, that is occupied by men.
"But that applies to me too," she added.
"That danger is all the more…one woman - in an entirely male space in a drunk pub.”
