My interest in EDI is driven by personal experiences, a desire to diversify the profession, and a desire to improve healthcare outcomes for minority and marginalised groups. In my current role I have had the opportunity to present research we conducted looking at brain injury and other co-morbidities within a cohort of people experiencing homelessness. I hope to use this as a catalyst for further research exploring brain injury and inclusion.

I’m a family physician who has training and working experience in pain and mental health management in a public and private health care setup. My current role is an associate at Neuromed Clinic Dublin providing neuromodulation services to different neurological disorders. I have completed an MSc in internal medicine through RCPE/University of Edinburgh college of medicine. Other work includes pain management from University of Alberta Rehabilitation Medicine, teaching medicine from Harvard Medical school, and a professional diploma in ObsGyn and WH from RCPI.

I have been a Fellow of the College for nearly 30 years and have seen the very slow evolution of membership diversity and opportunity. Momentum is gathering with raised awareness which should facilitate growth in diversity, progress in equality and increased visibility of what has been achieved to encourage people to participate.

My name is Shivaram Prasad Singh and I retired from SCB Medical College where I was Head of Gastroenterology Department for over 2 decades. Currently I am Chairman of an educational Trust, Kalinga Gastroenterology Foundation.

In my career, I aspire to be a catalyst for greater involvement and participation by women in the field of gastroenterology/hepatology in South Asia. 

I am Conor Maguire, a Consultant Geriatrician in Edinburgh, and the Vice President (International) at RCPE. I have had a keen interest in promoting equality, diversity and inclusion in the healthcare workforce through my entire career having witnessed, and experienced, discriminatory behaviour towards those with both visible and hidden characteristics.

I have been a member of the RCPE EDI committee since its inception, and am a member of the NHS Lothian LGBTQ+ staff network.
