Dr Bawa-Garba has now #CCT in paeds. I congratulate her on this and her extraordinary commitment to looking after children. We need an NHS that supports staff/institutions learn from errors. The tragedies experienced by Jack Adock and Dr Bawa-Garba should never be repeated.

If your child swallows a button battery take them straight to A&E or ED. Tell staff you think your child has swallowed a button battery. #ButtonBatteryAwareness #NHS Child Accident Prevention Trust - CAPT Charity #PedsICU

The penalty for aborting a pregnancy following rape is now potentially longer than the penalty for raping someone. Let that sink in for a minute.

I worried that a #CSection might delay #breastfeeding or make it more difficult but, thanks to immediate #skintoskin enabled by the #maternity and #surgical teams NorthumbriaNHS, we're well into our #boobing journey and I have a guzzler! No #stigma in sharing. So grateful. 🙏

Great to hear Lorna McKerracher talking so passionately about cue based feeding. Volume driven feeding is so engrained in neonatal care. Amazing to hear about changing this practice and how it improves neonatal outcomes #neonatal #neonatalnursing #snngconf2023
