"Research shows that high proportions of female healthcare workers experience domestic abuse, and these survivors face unique barriers to safety and support. My research on domestic abuse with Practitioner Health shows that there is willingness to improve outcomes for survivors in the health and care profession, and my new study will pilot specialist advocacy in the service." - Dr Sandi Dheensa, Research Fellow, University of Bristol and Practitioner Health Collaborator.

This #InternationalWomensDay we're recognising Dr Sandi Dheensa for the steps she is taking to address violence against women and girls. Every step matters. #TakingAStep #IRISi
