Flexibility of thought

Show notes:

Listen to Miss Kanwalraj Moar, Prof Manohar Bance and Miss Ekpemi Irune discuss the current state of affairs facing women in surgery and how flexibility of thought, gender roles and intentional action can help us tackle these problems. Prof Bance also reminds us that the bottom from where we hope to rise is “slipping” with some key examples. Miss Moar underlines the importance of change being visible especially by leadership.

About the series:
Team Brief is the official podcast of the Academic Collaborative for Equality and Inclusivity in Surgery (ACEIS) UK

This maiden series is an ode to the International Women’s Day celebrations 2023. We remind ourselves of some of the progress made but we do not lose sight of the deficiencies and the devastating global impact of gender inequity

About ACEIS UK:

The Collaborative consists of a group of cross-specialty surgeons and expert advisers with a single interest: to highlight the true extent of the challenges of equality, inclusivity and their associated impacts in the surgical profession by leveraging data. Our role is to identify and report data from the frontlines of the surgical working environment; to provide an opportunity for individualised stories to be shared; to present all data to the surgical community without the burden of political or other influences in a transparent manner; to develop change strategies suitable for adoption in the workplace; to apprise other professional bodies and organisations with coherent data that can inform appropriate policies and procedures to tackle these challenges; to highlight positive and negative aspects of systemic workplace issues
