One myth is that the fixing the gender pay gap is all about ensuring equal pay, such as through standardised pay grades. This oversimplifies the fact that the gap is from complex factors and requires cultural change to allow full participation of women in the workforce.

64 out of 440 surgeons in WA are female. Many specialties have fewer that ten consultants who are female 6 specialties have fewer than 5 female consultant surgeons What an extraordinary disappointment for the patients of WA.

"it purports to be everything that conventional medicine is not; egalitarian, hopeful and accessible. Even though it is elitist, privileged and full of falsehoods, it does not matter to those who seek its comfort." On #wellness and #goop in @PostOpinions

Opinion | Gwyneth Paltrow’s ‘Goop Lab’ is horrible. The medical industry is partly to blame.

You only need to be afraid of #MeToo if you have done something nefarious. If you mentor, teach, challenge & develop, you are doing a good job. If you can't do this without poor behaviour, you don't deserve your position of power #ILookLikeASurgeon #WomenInMedicine #WomenInSTEM

In response to the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements, some men in positions of power say they are afraid to participate in mentoring relationships with women. This response has serious consequences for women’s career advancement.

Doctors do not receive enough training in not only nutrition and exercise but also around things like stigma, counselling and psychology. Which would not be insurmountable if we had more allied health professionals
