Britain's healthcare is in promising hands - as long as doctor's wellbeing is considered. That was one of the takeways from our national conference, where women's health, #mentalhealth and compassion were also considered. More to come... #NHS #medicine #equality #fairness #equity

Our founder presented two utterly inspirational speakers on women's health plus a bowel endo surgeon to the national conference of @bidauk.bsky.social. As they concluded, "these are young people in the prime of their life and they shouldn't have to wait in pain for a diagnosis."
