The proportion of UK medical staff who are female, particularly doctors, has increased every year for the past decade. Nonetheless, women continue to be under-represented in surgical specialities. This under-representation is most evident in neurosurgery, trauma and orthopaedic surgery, and cardiothoracic surgery, where only around 18% of surgeons are female. Notably over the past 10 years, the proportions of women in the disciplines of trauma and orthopaedic surgery and cardiothoracic surgery have increased, in line with the majority of other medical specialities; however, this is not the case in neurosurgery. In honour of International Women's Day on March 8, 2020, we propose that social media be used to help rewrite this narrative and increase female representation in UK neurosurgery. We emphasise that we do not want neurosurgery to attract women simply to tick a box, but because we truly believe that neurosurgery should be attractive to the best candidates regardless of their gender, ethnicity, and other social categories.

社交媒体可以解决神经外科手术中的性别差距。

在过去十年中，英国女性医务人员（尤其是医生）的比例逐年增加。尽管如此，妇女在外科专科中的代表性仍然不足。这种表示不足的情况在神经外科，创伤和整形外科以及心胸外科中最为明显，其中仅约18％的外科医生是女性。值得注意的是，在过去的十年中，与大多数其他医学专业相一致，在创伤，整形外科和心胸外科领域中妇女所占的比例有所增加；但是，神经外科并非如此。为了纪念2020年3月8日的国际妇女节，我们建议使用社交媒体来帮助重写这一叙述并增加英国神经外科中女性的代表性。
