Breaking Barriers
13th November 2025
In collaboration with KCL Anatomy Society, Scrub the Stigma KCL proudly hosted Breaking Barriers, a free educational speaker event designed to empower students through knowledge, awareness and open conversations about women’s health.
The event brought together healthcare professionals with expertise across women’s health to share evidence-based insights and encourage attendees to become informed advocates for their own wellbeing.
Our panel of speakers included:
Dr Danielle Adewusi (Founder of Scrub The Stigma)
Dr Cynthia Fayomi (Radiologist)
Dr Barbara Osamwonyi (GP with a special interest in Women’s Health)
Our speakers highlighted the importance of early detection and screening, emphasising how awareness and timely action can improve health outcomes, as well as the importance of challenging stigma and promoting equitable access to women’s healthcare through education and advocacy. We were also fortunate to be taught how to do self breast examinations and learnt about breast anatomy and key aspects of gynaecological health.
Throughout the evening, attendees gained practical knowledge about breast health, common gynaecological conditions and the importance of recognising symptoms, attending screening appointments and advocating for themselves within healthcare settings.
