Today the article that I co-authored with a wonderful group of women has finally been published! It takes a global approach towards racial diversity in paediatric medicine and provides action points that people can utilise.

@Hermesparcels I’ve lost an extremely expensive Christmas via your services and am unable to speak to a real person about it as your entire customer service team is automated. I would appreciate being contacted by an actual employee of Hermes in order to address this issue.
So pleased that my paper with @HeadSmartFellow @surf4children and @Arora_borealis2 regarding diversity in paediatric medical education is finally available online!

Excellent news! @DFTBSkinDeep has long been advocating for this change of nomenclature and we have a great selection of dermal melanocytosis pictures on our website

The term Mongolian Blue Spots is no longer considered appropriate. In conjunction with guidance from the British Association of Dermatology the preferred nomenclature should be Congenital Dermal Melanocytosis. Our literature will be updated to reflect this change in terminology.
@NTGovHealth can you please confirm that returning a rental car to the airport is not one of the reasons to leave your home.
Bargain car rental at Darwin airport are pressuring me to do so and don’t like the “excuse” that we’re in lockdown…

There’s often a lot of rhetoric about respecting and supporting Australia’s traditional landowners. However these communities need our tangible support of their charities, businesses and vulnerable people.

Great piece on health inequalities and how we can tackle them by @WeAreThePSC

Activism and engagement looks different for different people. This essay is an important read regarding the realities of life in Myanmar at present and the ways in poetry can be a mighty form of protest. worldliteraturetoday.org/blo…
The astounding @WeAreThePSC had a chat with me about @DFTBSkinDeep and the health inequalities faced by individuals from ethnically minoritised backgrounds. Have a listen. Hopefully it will inspire you to engage with, and support, more diverse resources

Delighted to have been part of @RCPCHtweets latest Milestone issue with @HeadSmartFellow discussing @DFTBSkinDeep. It’s so great to have the support of one of leading Child Health organisations in the world and is a testament to how important Skin Deep is.
Milestones is out now — in this issue, we meet the RCPCH Presidential candidates! We also look at the winter ahead, the College's diversity work, DFTB's latest project and how to deal with imposter syndrome. 👉 rcpch.ac.uk/milestones
Absolutely awful. We need less lip service from the government and more actual action ✊🏿
Nine Windrush victims died before getting a penny of the compensation the government owes them.
It breaks my heart how poorly this generation of black Britons is being treated by their own government - even years after the scandal was exposed.

@RCPCHtweets excellent work! So glad to see the RCPCH and my colleagues being politically engaged. Even more excited to officially join this wonderful college and speciality in 2021 (fingers crossed!)
More than 2,000 paediatricians and @RCPCH members have signed a letter supporting @MarcusRashford in his campaign to extend free school meals.
Pleased to see it on the front page of @ObserverUK
Thanks to everyone who signed. Full story 👇👇👇

Excellent collaboration between @DFTBSkinDeep and @pedsig!
What is your dermatology like #MedTwitter?
Now... What is your dermatology knowledge like on non-white skin?
Yep... us too.
So we’ve teamed up with @DFTBSkinDeep to help fix this through good old #MedEd!
More details to follow.
Thanks for the opportunity @MelaninMedics!

Happy Sunday guys!! Working in a paediatric emergency department when you’re a perfectionist who needs positive affirmation can be difficult!
