The other legacy of SureStart is the personal & professional transformation created in the staff, some of whom are now in middle and senior leadership roles.

Those people carry the ethos & vision into their work to this day. That will never be evaluated but it’s massive.

Delighted to be in Oslo attending the Eighth International Parliamentarians Conference on the implementation of the ICPD programme of action. What a privilege to join parliamentarians from around the world to speak about midwives & midwifery International Confederation of Midwives

Women who received midwife continuity of care models less likely to experience a caesarean section, instrumental birth and episiotomy.
Little difference to fetal loss and preterm birth.

It's been said that midwives shouldn't talk about how the maternity crisis affects them. This paper today shows 93% of surveyed midwives score 'moderate to severe' for personal burnout. How can traumatised staff possibly provide an effective service?

Dr Jenny Hall I feel like we are on a loop with sure start centres. They open then close then reopen. The evidence is clear of their value. Its a one stop shop for MDT working that hugely contributes to the 1001 days of life!

It is vital to invest in the earliest years-Sure start was effective-it included investing in midwifery &health visiting. Both professions and early years care has been decimated by this government. I hope the current Labour Party take this on as priority bbc.co.uk/news/education…

In the USA, 'Black women are dying at nearly triple the rate of white women, and Native American women at double the rate. Additionally, data from maternal mortality review committees suggest that four of five pregnancy-related deaths are preventable.' tinyurl.com/42p4zd6e
