Today is an annual event that brings attention to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights and violence and abuse against women.
This year’s campaign is all about equity. As a General Practitioner, I regularly treat people that start from different places and journeys without judgment. Helping to bring true inclusion into modern day medicine.
So whatever your background don’t delay seeking medical help today.
It was a pleasure to be invited as a guest speaker at the monthly Me Time seminar held by SARA, a group that supports women who have been affected by domestic and family violence.
This month’s topic was all about spreading health awareness from cervical cancer screening, breast cancer screening to skin checks amongst others.

It’s official, research has shown that taking a selfie can have a positive impact on our mental health. It allows us to self reflect and recognise ourselves as well as being able to feel more confident and comfortable in our own skin. I had a great time getting my selfie dose with the lovely Shamilla our local pharmacist and medical student 💖
Remember, always selfie in moderation as too much of anything can be bad.
On this day, 102 years ago, after 2 million husbands and sons had died in war, the women of Russia stood up to fight for ‘bread and peace’, and they marched their way to the right to vote.
