#TeamBartsHealth blogs

For International Women’s Day this year (March 8, 2020), we are profiling inspiring women from around our organisation. Today we meet Tessa Davis, Paediatrics Emergency Department Consultant at The Royal London Hospital.

We caught up with Andrea McDonnell, Associate Director of Nursing at Newham Hospital and Barts Health inspirational woman, about her life and achievements.

With so many nominations for our maternity staff, we simply couldn’t choose one individual. Instead we shortlisted a group of inspirational women to represent the service at Newham Hospital. Below we chatted to them about their experience as women in 2020.

Following her nomination for the Barts Health meets Vogue inspiring women awards, we sat down with Ms Arti Garg, consultant surgeon at Newham Hospital, to get an insight into her life, her achievements and her future ambitions.

Outpatient service manager Alison Digney started at St Bartholomew’s in 1988 as a clinic receptionist and health records clerk.

“Equal opportunities for all trainees in cardiology is crucial. We need to inspire future generations to reach higher than us,” said Julia Grapsa, consultant cardiologist at St Bartholomew’s Hospital.
