The GMC has updated their Good Medical Practice. We at DDN used our lived experience & that of the drs we’ve supported to influence how the review is delivered. Disability is diverse however so please contribute here to share you views.gmc-uk.org/ethical-guidance/….

Doctors with disabilities - whether visible or not - deserve much better support in the workplace.
On today's International Day of Persons with Disabilities, watch our short video on their experiences. #DisabilityAwareness

On this International Day of Disability We pledge to compel Medicine to become more inclusive. Disability brings diversity, problem solving skills & compassion when it’s needed most. We are an asset not something to be feared or embarrassed about. #InternationalDisabilityDay2021

Actively looking for any neurodiverse Mersey based doctors (any speciality) to act as a mentor for a new scheme supporting ND medical students at UoL.
Uni exceptionally keen, but all depends on Mersey doctors.
Retweet’s much appreciated.
DM if interested.

Today, I was thrilled to share my hugely positive experiences working as a doctor with a disability. All whilst recognising there is a long way to go — both in improving access to medicine for students with disabilities and promoting positive role models @SouthWestBMA
Oh my goodness, @DrSophieJackson doing a bloody amazing intro to our discussions today; she’s changing the narrative completely & yes we also
⭐️need more senior role models⭐️
⭐️better access to medicine⭐️ @SouthWestBMA #BMASuccessfulDoctoring2021

Calling Surgical Trainees!
Do you have conditions affecting your hands?
E.g - carpal tunnel, arthritis, RSI, stroke, MS, trauma...
Then you will have developed ways to tackle surgical training! I would love to speak to you and learn about your #skillhacks #surgicaltricks
ALT Surgical Education Research for MSc @surgical_edu Email me on [email protected] I am a surgeon who has found ways to adapt. There are so many of us out there who quietly get on with it. My mission is to increase awareness & inclusivity, drive changes in medical/surgical education and create support, camaraderie and a 'Surgical Hack' catalogue for the current and future generation of surgeons. If you are willing to help or even curious then please get in touch! All I am after is an hour of your time (Zoom interview) to discuss your surgical tips, tricks and adaptations which have enabled you to navigate your way through training. Please share/RT and disseminate - I would be super grateful! Thanks in advance!

Despite the stereotypes, there are many disabled doctors and medical students working in the NHS.
Read our report on their experiences, and our recommendations on how they can be better supported in the workplace: bma.org.uk/advice-and-suppor…
