For 5 yrs I have taught medical students about childhood obesity, pointing out that it is complex, and strongly associated with socioeconomic deprivation. That simplistic fixes and blaming children and their families won’t work. That we need to change society. 1/2

Breastmilk is nature’s perfect first food, tailor-made for babies providing all the vitamins, proteins and fats that they need for the first 6 months. It is a critical part of a sustainable food system. #WBW2020

We see an increase in levels of depression from 15% to nearly 41%, as well as moderate to high anxiety increase from 29% at 72% in pregnant people. ⁠ Restrictions are removed everywhere #ButNotMaternity Matt Hancock Boris Johnson Professor Chris Whitty NHS #LockedOutOfBirth

Not explaining in advance if a partner can attend a scan is cruel @ confusing. Maternity services need to be clearer about restrictions and have a clear, publicly available de-escalation plans that explain why one trust's policies may be different to another's. #butnotmaternity

This Government has focussed on and invested in getting schools and hospitality open. Expectant parents and families with babies and toddlers are still going without the support they need. It's time to focus on the first 1001 days. #ButNotMaternity Matt Hancock Sir Gavin Williamson CBE MP

Creating #secureattachment is a process. Parents need to feel supported themselves in order to provide this for their children: so many not getting this during the pandemic #butnotmaternity #fourthtrimester Suzanne Zeedyk Parent-Infant Foundation Aberdeen Neonatal unit

I’m delighted to have been appointed Chair of the Maternal Mental Health Alliance. Perinatal mental health is a pressing issue for all of society - for too many, the standard of care still relies on your postcode. I am really looking forward to working with MMHA’s members to support women /1

With the EU's pledge last week to reduce emissions "at least 55%" below 1990 by 2030, 2/3 of the world's Big 3 emitters are showing real signs of ratcheting up ambition. What’s missing most is American leadership on climate – a critical ingredient if the world is to succeed.
