This week’s episode is with our immediate Past President, Professor Neena Modi. Neena is Professor of Neonatology at Imperial College Hospital. She is a Past President of several organisations including the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, the Academic Paediatric Association of Great Britain and the Neonatal Society. She is currently the President of the British Medical Association. Neena has a breadth of experience in both academic and clinical neonatal medicine.
In this episode, we discuss Neena’s first experience of advocacy, how we need to work together to stop describing things as ‘women’s issues’ when they are societal issues, and why we need to go for it when we are considering applying for opportunities. We always feel so inspired when we speak to Neena and we hope you do too after listening to this episode!
Neena’s book recommendations:
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
The Towers of Trebizond by Rose Macaulay
