You are very welcome thankyou for who you are and all you do

Happy to be back teaching clinical skills today to 5 passionate and enthusiastic newly appointed maternity support workers . Clinical skills and competencies taught in small groups, both in the classroom and on the wards just feels so right 💪@rchtmaternity Sarah Grigg

Just had my Psychological training PMA boost session thanks to NHS England and felt it to be so beneficial . Great to share knowledge and ideas on how to reach out to staff and how to look after ourselves specifically in relation to moral injury and distress @rchtmaternity

So utterly delighted & proud to share my book ‘Nurturing Maternity Staff’ out 26/8 & available to pre order. Link below. Many people have contributed directly or indirectly to this & for that I’m truly grateful & infused with hope that we can make maternity different for all.

We’re delighted that maternity services in England will receive an extra £95m+ year on year. This funding will go towards boosting obstetrician & midwife numbers, while also funding joint training with maternity staff. To read our full response visit: rcog.org.uk/en/news/royal-…

Today the RCM has said it may have to consider if the PRB process is still fit for purpose if the Government adheres to a low recommendation that is not the significant pay award that it has been campaigning for on behalf of its members rcm.org.uk/media-releases… #DeliverADecentDeal

There is no greater pleasure in life for me than nurturing . Be it my family, my pets, my garden, midwives, student midwives or preceptees . Thank you so much, I’m so grateful and this means the world to me 💓 @rchtmaternity South West Clinical School in Cornwall Plymouth Midwifery Society Faculty of Health

Tough week . I am strong and I am weak but above it all I am hunan.

So excited to share that my next book is due out on 17th Feb. It’s packed full of practical ways to prevent & address what many staff are experiencing in health and social care right now. Hope it’s a helpful resource for you 💜
