Background:

Increasing proportion of women in UK medical schools (60% of students).
Need for the National Health Service (NHS) to support women in the medical workforce.
Addressing challenges for clinicians balancing family planning and careers.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the impact of an information session on doctors' knowledge of family leave and career planning.
To evaluate the feasibility of providing accessible information to support work-life balance for medical professionals.

Main Methods:

A half-day event, 'Navigating the NHS and Having a Family', was organized by the Women's Clinical Network.
The event covered topics including NHS family leave entitlements and less than full-time training.
Pre- and post-event surveys collected qualitative and quantitative data from attendees of all genders, grades, and specialties.

Main Results:

Pre-event surveys revealed a significant lack of knowledge regarding family leave entitlements and processes.
Only a quarter of attendees initially felt it possible to balance a career and family.
Post-event, over three-quarters of attendees felt balancing a career and family was achievable, demonstrating improved knowledge and confidence.

Conclusions:

Information sessions are effective in improving clinicians' understanding of family planning resources within the NHS.
Changes are needed to ensure clinicians can make informed decisions about family planning.
Integrating such informational events can effectively disseminate vital information with lasting impact.
