The next meeting is on Zoom and we will watch and discuss a “SHEted Talk” on competence and likability: how are women perceived?

It was a great honor to participate in the RARE Revolution Magazine REV-inar alongside an incredible panel of women who have dedicated their work to advancing the care of people with rare diseases, worldwide. Wendy Erler, Yael Weiss and Professor Lara Bloom, CNE A few excerpts from my participation: On RD Caregivers: "The impact of caregiving on women is disproportionate. The economy of care is an important issue that needs to be addressed through policies that protect women." On Women in Science: "While representation is essential, I think our (women's) presence on boards, on teams, on publications, etc., should be predicated on the expertise and the insight we bring, rather than just because we're a woman or because we're a Latin American, or because we're a minority. It's important for it to be about meritocracy and ensuring that anyone's participation is based on their capacity to add value, and that they're acknowledged for their skills and contribution to the field."

Women physicians make up approximately 38% of physicians overall within the United States. While this number has increased over the years, it is still not good enough, especially considering over half of the U.S. population is women. We believe equitable representation makes us all better and that's why Vituity's women physicians inspire us every day. They are change-makers and trail blazers and leaders, inspiring future women physicians. In honor of #nationalwomenphysiciansday, we want to know who is a women physician that inspires you?

“Evidence shows that Black and South Asian women are more likely to be diagnosed in late stage, which is a real concern because we know that the earlier the diagnosis, the better the outcome. ”Differences in screening uptake show that more needs to be done to address the barriers to screening that drive inequities. To do that, we need to build better trust between communities and the health service. “Amplifying messages about racial inequality and the need to ensure that early detection and prevention service works for all is so important, so it was great to work with Breast Cancer Now and other groups that represent under-served communities to find common solutions. ”We need to get the message out that early detection leads to better outcomes. To achieve this, we need to break into word-of-mouth networks and ensure there are trusted professionals responding when women seek help.” - Jabeer, chief executive, Race Equality Foundation In England, Black women of any age and South Asian women aged 18-71 are less likely to have breast cancer diagnosed early, and are at greater risk of having it detected only once it's already spread to other part of the body. This inequity must be addressed, which is why we’ve joined together with Race Equality Foundation, alongside other leading equity groups, to help make screening more inclusive and accessible to everyone who is eligible. Our consensus statement sets out a number of changes that would help deliver a fair and equal breast screening programme, including by ensuring better data is available to help identify communities that aren't being reached by screening services, and working with those groups to design and deliver screening campaigns that resonate.
