Abstract

Summary: Clinical academics in psychiatry face several inequities, many of which are specific to women academics and intersectional in nature. We characterise the current state of UK academic psychiatry utilising findings of the annual Medical Schools Council clinical academic survey, and consider initiatives seeking to address gaps in supporting the career journeys of women academics.
