This International Women’s Day, we’re reflecting on this year’s theme: Give to Gain the idea that when we share knowledge, listen, and support one another, we build stronger communities. 💜
Today we’re highlighting Dr Rosemary Hollick, whose work is making a real difference to people living with Fibromyalgia.
Rosemary is a Senior Clinical Lecturer, Honorary Consultant Rheumatologist, and Director of the Aberdeen Centre for Research Excellence in Musculoskeletal Health. Her research looks at how healthcare services can better support people with long-term conditions.
What stands out about her approach is that it’s not just about data — it’s about listening. By bringing together research and the real experiences of patients and clinicians, she helps shape care that truly works for people.
As she says, “Women and girls bring different perspectives and lived experiences into STEM, and that diversity strengthens science.”
This International Women’s Day, we’re grateful for female scientists who keep patient voices at the heart of science. 💜
