23 | Sarah Dalton on ASMS & New Zealand Women in Medicine (NZWIM)

Sarah Dalton is executive director of Toi Mata Hauora, also known as, the Association of Salaried Medical Specialists (ASMS) – the union for senior doctors and dentists. Her work story is of a secondary school teacher (history/English/assistant principal) who stumbled into union work and decided to stick around. In this episode, we discuss her move from being a teacher and being a union advocate for teachers, to advocacy for medical consultants. We discuss the breadth of challenges for senior medical officers (SMOs) in the current landscape and workplace, encompassing burnout in SMOs, the gender pay gap, speaking out against racism and sexism and their current negotiations for their collective contract (MECA). Sarah is also the founder of a 5000+ member-strong Facebook group, New Zealand Women in Medicine (NZWIM), and tells us the story of the birth of this mighty group! As always, if you have any feedback or queries, feel free to get in touch at [email protected] credit:Bliss by Luke Bergs https://soundcloud.com/bergscloudCreative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/33DJFs9Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/e9aXhBQDT9YSupport the showAs always, if you have any feedback or queries, or if you would like to get in touch with the speaker, feel free to get in touch at [email protected].
