Grace Spence Green is a junior doctor working to challenge the narratives surrounding disability, medicine and identity. In 2018, aged 22 and a 4th year medical student, she sustained a spinal cord injury and is now a full-time wheelchair user.

She is passionate about medicine, advocacy for the disabled community and challenging ableism, the stigma surrounding disability and inaccessible spaces.
She would love to see better and much more inclusive representation for disabled people in all walks of life and particularly in medicine and the media. She hopes in the future to work in the field of paediatrics, advocating for disabled children.
