Why women doctors are the solution to the NHS workforce crisis
‘Why women doctors are the solution to the NHS workforce crisis'
Dr Ramsha Nabeel, Highly Commended Entry of the MWF Junior Doctor Prize 2023
In a dire time of need
Less doctors around to be seen
Comes a time for action
For more women doctors, a vital faction
Compassionate, gentle and oh so keen
So much potential, it's time to be seen
The time has come to chase
Their skills, their brilliance we must embrace
In the world of medicine, they provide
A unique perspective, an excellent guide
With empathy flowing through their veins
Addressing all their patients' woeful pains
A gentle voice, a new safe haven
A space so rare, with so much care
They listen, comfort, and heal
Their presence alone, a soothing seal
For patients they build trust
A feeling that is a must
For they feel heard
Their stories acknowledged not blurred
For women's health they advocate
Ensuring rights in this state
Fighting for justice, equality
A voice for all, a noble policy
So let us invite these women in white
For their dedication and vigorous fight
For more women doctors we must acquire
A solution that extinguishes this fire
For in their hands, a future lies,
Where healthcare flourishes, and hope never dies,
More women doctors, the answer we seek,
A world transformed, compassionate and unique
