I'm remembering the edicts I grew up with: don't wear that; don't go out alone; don't give the wrong idea; don't look or respond, walk away (fast) & why were you there in the first place? Also: don't complain, we're post-feminism now; be nice. Oh. And smile.

This was SUCH a privilege 🙏🏽

I was honoured to share both my personal & professional history of IMGs who have formed the fabric of my life since childhood.

And it's great to see that the work is making a difference. Credit is due to those who deliver the work on the ground.🙌🏽

Congratulations to @tcgannon, our Head of Outreach Operations, on receiving the President’s Award at the British International Doctors Association's (@BIDAUK) National Conference last Saturday.

Tista was recognised for leading her team's work on Equality, diversity and inclusion (ED&I) - you can read the latest on that part of our wider ED&I programme in our recently published report lnkd.in/eZDv9nti.

Tista was also recognised for her role in helping to implement the updated version of Good medical practice, and strengthening the induction programme for International medical graduates (IMGs) entering the UK. She spoke about these three topics in a speech after receiving the award.

You can read more about our work to help improve induction programmes for IMGs in our latest blog, from Tista herself! gmcuk.wordpress.com/2024/10/17/the…

So excited we've launched our ED&I report on #SASWeek24 theme day on equalities🙌🏽

SAS drs bring the richness of their diversity to work every day. That diversity also means they face a full range of discrimination.

More to do, but collaborative work is making a difference 👇🏾

Great to hear @gmenon1423 share collaborative work to create change for SAS & LE colleagues.

I've been at the table repping @gmcuk & the passion to deliver for SAS & LED who've been neglected for too long is clear.

It can be done, examples being shared @BAPIOUK as I type.

Calling all IMGs 🙌🏽

I often hear about racism you're subject to & the barriers to speaking up.

There's pockets of good practice too which *needs* to spread, but there's often too many words & too little action.

Help change this. Share your experiences in confidence 🙏🏽 👇🏽
