    #Twitter is a curious place. Where the language used in short posts reveal so much about the kind of person we really are in our hearts. I want to be part of the movement for change motivated by compassion, forgiveness and love. Not cruelty, vitriol and grandiosity.

    1/4 1987. On my first day as a newly qualified house officer, proudly dressed in brand new trousers, I was told by the consultant, in front of the whole team, that he expected women in his team to wear skirts and never to wear trousers again.

    4/4 I am not alone, putting women down by commenting on appearance is a real and long standing behaviour. Our male allies speaking up will change this. Thanking you all in advance.

    2/4 2017. As CEO of an NHS Trust a senior male colleague with whom I had a difference of opinion looked me up and down and said “ That’s an unusual dress for a chief executive to wear.”

    3/4 2021. On a virtual panel, waiting for the event to begin, one well known panelist commented as part of our introductory chat , “ you are better looking in person than your photos suggest.”

    Dear GP, Please let me continue to have telephone and on line access to care. I rarely need face to face consultation. Better use of NHS time and delivers value for money. 🙏🏾

    #honours2020 The CBE is quite something for someone like me. My history and that of many others is inextricably linked to the British Empire. Like others from the BAME community I am proud to serve this, my country and am especially proud to call myself one of #ournhspeople

    CMO Professor Chris Whitty conducts himself with dignity and integrity. We could all learn from him.

    “All lives matter.” Does not need saying because it’s a given. Whilst #BlackLivesMatter needs repeating. Again and again and again. Until we change the way we are.
