Abstract

The words of the 1979 Pink Floyd classic Another brick in the wall describe an educational system that rigidly imposes a single view of education, one that prefers to promote the development of conformed students rather than tailoring education to allow everyone to thrive.

Parallels can be drawn for healthcare. Medical and scientific communities have tended to think of healthcare as a one-size-fits all endeavour, rather than recognise difference and tailor healthcare accordingly. This is particularly evident when it comes to sex and gender, the topic of a recent article in Clinical Oncology [1].
