'Alcohol guidelines for pregnant women: Barriers and enablers for midwives to deliver advice' report out now bit.ly/alcmidwives

Good morning everyone, We don't know what news, today will bring, but we know we have each other to get us through. This crisis will bring out the best of us, we will recognise skills and knowledge we didn't know we had. We will emerge wiser, stronger and together. ✊🏼✊🏿✊🏾✊🏻

Please do still attend A&E if you’re child needs urgent care. If you are told to go to hospital by your GP or NHS 111, it is important that you go to hospital. Visiting restrictions remain but do allow for children to be accompanied by a parent. We’ll give you the care you need.

Canny believe a need to pick between breathing or seeing

But 3rd year student midwives are ignored and left to get on with it? Despite still caring for covid positive women? And putting themselves and their families at risk? For free? Cool, cool #StudentsDeserveBetter

I’m overjoyed at the news 3rd yr student nurses can opt into paid extended clinical placement but why are student midwives forgotten? They work with Covid+ people all day too. Where’s their recognition, pay & death in service protection? Another example of #butnotmaternity ?

Thread from a NQM - couldn’t have said it any better myself #recognisestudentmidwives ‼️

Hi guys! So a while ago I put a message out, I’m writing a dissertation on the impact practise assessors and supervisors have on student nurses self confidence/performance. Well, I have ethical approval! Which means the survey will be out very soon. Please spread the word!!!

We need to understand the benefits of #continuityofcare for pregnant people & babies, but also to listen to, & advocate on behalf of, #maternity services. More widely, as a society, I believe we should all be demanding better resourced maternity teams. blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2021/09/20…
