Hello! Are you familiar with the term SAS doctor? SAS doctors make up 30% of the medical workforce, and yet, many of us have no idea what the term means. Thankfully, our guest this week is here to educate us. Dr Anthea Mowat is a retired Associate Specialist in Anaesthesia, and also our wonderful MWF Honorary Secretary.

She explains what exactly constitutes SAS doctors, and how we can all go about supporting our colleagues who are SAS doctors.

We’re all about equality at the Medical Women’s Federation and want to support all doctors throughout their careers, so we hope you find this episode really helpful.

On the 5th of November, we’re doing a parkrun to raise money for the Medical Women’s Federation – we’d be so grateful for your very kind donations to help us support as many medical women as we can! https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/mwfparkrun

We also have a very special announcement to make - we have made membership to the MWF only £5 for all medical students! Sign up at this link: https://www.medicalwomensfederation.org.uk/members/join-us

We have our first in person conference since the pandemic began on Friday 18th November in Nottingham – sign up here: https://www.medicalwomensfederation.org.uk/news-events/conference
