Pleased this had been published by @NHS_HealthEdEng outlining the implementation of the new MSW national competency Framework and level 3 apprenticeship- including return on investment (spoiler: there’s a net gain for employers)

Here's a sneak peak at the first finished infographic from the series I am creating during my Economic and Social Research Council postdoctoral fellowship:- setting up hospital labour rooms for midwives and healthcare workers. I had great support from Research Retold throughout the creative process 😀

'Often, the importance of the MSWs and their role is undervalued and overlooked, not necessarily deliberately, but more out of a lack of understanding of what we do.' writes Chrissy Joyce, an RCM rep and #MSW at Imperial in our latest blog: rcm.org.uk/news-views/rcm…

Fantastic to hear, CoC moving forward 🎉keep up the great work 🌼@TeamCMidO @RCNMidwives Royal College of Midwives 💙 Caitlin Wilson

Midwives & all NHS staff have heard warms words & applause. Now the government has an opportunity to make a commitment. The RCM has written to the PM and Chancellor asking them to bring forward NHS pay talks, because this can’t wait until 2021! rcm.org.uk/media-releases… #NHSpay

'To truly value the contribution of midwives & NHS staff, their pay must be restored in real terms. Currently there are staff shortages right across the NHS & the government should be doing all it can to retain & attract new staff' says Jon Skewes 🇺🇦 #NHSpay theguardian.com/society/2020/j…

Disappointing & puts lives at risk says RCM supporting Maternity Action on High Court ruling on NHS charging of destitute migrant women for maternity care, see bit.ly/2VGTwd0
