Anatome's Day of Diversity 2025

The team at Anatome would like to thank everyone that was involved in the Day of Diversity, as it was an incredible success. This ranges from the staff, keynote speakers, workshop leaders, and everyone that attended, without you, we would not have been able to have that day that we worked so hard to make a reality. We were so proud to share the work that Anatome has put into its textbook, image bank, and more, and we were so happy for the turnout which came to listen and share our resources.

Thank you to everyone who has kept up to date with Anatome over the years, watching us grow from a small project to a registered Community Interest Company (CIC). As always, a massive thank you to the Anatome Team (pictured above) for making our ground-breaking work possible. David McMahon, one part of our photography team duo has put together a capitivating blog summarising the Day of Diversity and Anatome’s work to date.

Despite its importance for equity and patient care, disability in Graduate Medical Education remains understudied. Following research, the author recommends establishing formal accommodation protocols, faculty training, peer mentorship networks, and regular policy review. There is urgent need for standardised, inclusive policies to ensure disabled physicians-in-training receive the support they need to thrive.
