Pride in healthcare
We're in pride month, and this year the celebration of LGBT+ people seems to be increasingly contentious. Healthcare's treatment of queer people has improved hugely since the days when being gay was considered a mental disorder, and would end a doctor's career - but that doesn't mean that everything is equal.
In this episode of Doctor Informed, we're hearing from two doctors who are out and proud at work, about what it's been like to be queer in medicine, and what good allyship looks like.

Doctor Informed - surviving in scrubs
The culture which allows sexism to perpetuate in healthcare is no better illustrated than by The BMJ's investigation into sexual abuse in the NHS.
However, The BMJ are not the first organisation to highlight the problems - Surviving in Scrubs have been collating stories of sexism in healthcare, and making waves about the issues for a while.
In this episode of Doctor Informed, Clara Munro is joined by the founders of Surviving in Scrubs, to discuss their campaign, how to create a culture of zero tolerance for sexism at the ward level, and why they think sexism should be a professional issue.

Interventions to slow the progression of short-sightedness in children
In some areas of health and social care, the evidence from individual randomised trials answering questions about single interventions makes it difficult to choose between the interventions. Network meta-analyses can help with this by bringing all the evidence together in one place and, in February 2023, Cochrane Eyes and Vision published one such review, looking at the control of myopia in children. Here ' s lead author, John Lawrenson from City University of London in the UK, to tell us more. (Source: Podcasts from The Cochrane Library)
