BMA CCSC
The Medical Women's Federation has a representative on BMA CCSC. This representative
takes the concerns and views of women consultants to this forum.
MPS - Workshop for Consultants
The MWF works with MPS to run workshops for consultants at our bi-annual conferences.
Bi-Annual Meeting
Our bi-annual meetings give women consultants the opportunity to network,
meeting with like minded colleagues who are positive and open to change and
development, and also to gain CPD points for the talks and presentations.
Over the years we have been fortunate to attract some highly illustrious speakers
to these events.
What the MWF can do for you
•Networking:
many of the members of MWF are or have been consultants within the NHS. Over
the years the excellent networking which MWF affords has helped them at whatever
stage of their career they were at. Membership provides the opportunity for
learning from women leaders about how they achieve their career goals.
•ACCEA
Applications: The MWF runs regular workshops to help female consultants
improve their ACCEA applications. Some workshops are only open to members
and for those open to all members receive a discount on registration.
MWF is also a nominating body and is able to support the applications of some
consultant members each year.
•Support
in developing your career and fulfilling your potential, looking at
the options for developing a portfolio career and working less that full-time
if that is what you need at different times in your career. Many MWF members
have Portfolio careers (eg. Deans, University lecturers etc.) Networking with
these women can be inspirational.
•Access to mentoring/coaching, plus opportunities
to support women medical students and doctors starting on their careers -
giving something back that you may have received when you were starting out.
•Opportunities to engage in meteorological work
•Support for work developing better services for women and their families
•Networking links with organisations in the voluntary sector working
with women
•Opportunities for CPD events with other women doctors
•Support if you ever run into difficulties or disputes at work.
