🌍🏥 It’s World Health Day! As an organization that fights ageism in health, #EuGMS welcomes the World Health Organization (WHO) 2024 motto for this date - “My health, my right” - chosen to champion the right of everyone, everywhere to have access to health services, free from discrimination.

To say it’s been an honour and a privilege to lead our specialty society doesn’t do it justice. Every day brings an opportunity to make a difference. And the next incumbent will work closely with Jugdeep Dhesi, which means the opportunities will flow fast and furious. Just do it!

We cannot wait any longer for action to be taken to address the issues in clinical academia that we all recognise need fixing. If we delay/continue to ignore the issues, there will no longer be anything left to save…
