Today the PMA team held a time out afternoon for our Core Community staff with team building, mindfulness and restorative clinical supervision. It was lovely to see everyone and find out more about life as a community midwife and the challenges they face.

It's now been a week - a full seven days - since we wrote to Steve Barclay inviting him to meet with us and our members to discuss the crisis in maternity care. We sent it to four different email addresses for him. And we've very helpfully posted the letter on Twitter too 1/2
