Watch: Celebrating International Women’s Day 2023
About the event
For this year’s celebrations the network partnered with colleagues to celebrate and highlight work underway to progress gender equality, and make a positive difference for women working in health and care.
With a focus on the theme of #EmbraceEquity, the celebrations started with an early morning Tweet chat at 7.30 – 8.30am. We were joined by our guest panel to discuss #MovingBeyondDiversity and how we can progress towards achieving equity.
The celebrations continued with a virtual event held on Zoom from 10:00am to 12pm, where we heard from NHS Chief Executive, Amanda Pritchard; our network chair, Samantha Allen and many more. A number of organisations that are doing great work to progress gender equality and make a positive difference for women working in health and care also shared presentations.
