On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we’re resharing this powerful reflection from Dr Melissa Maguire, Consultant Neurologist and NIHR Specialty Lead in Neurological Disorders.

Dr Maguire explores what it’s really like to be a woman in the male-dominated world of medical research, and why so much female research talent remains untapped. From her own career pathway to the importance of mentorship and flexible working, this piece is a timely reminder of why representation in science matters.

Today on International , we hosted a roundtable discussion on the Intersectoral Global Action Plan (IGAP) on Epilepsy and Other Neurological Disorders. Chaired by our President, Professor Helen Cross, and bringing together clinicians, researchers and other key stakeholders, the discussion focused on the UK’s progress in delivering the plan, emphasising how research can drive further progress and improve outcomes for people affected by epilepsy. This roundtable marked an important starting point, and we will continue these conversations with a focus on identifying and taking forward key actions where needed.
