‘There are unacceptable variations in maternity services in UK for birth without medical intervention, even when controlled for case-mix. And as far as I can see - no difference in outcomes’. Shocking. maternityaudit.org.uk/audit/charting… #normalisingcomplexities2020 University of Suffolk Midwifery

Perhaps one of the most important talks I ever heard; Soo Downe questioning and critiquing important evidence so that we as midwives truly understand and may change the forces which shape care MidSoc soo downe

Great idea - an infographic for homebirth.

This art is a celebration of maternity- created by Cruella Jones, midwife at the NNUH- it’s called life through intervention- it’s beautiful! Made from the items we throw away in maternity (drug bottle tops etc). northnorfolknews.co.uk/news/midwife-c… #YearoftheNurseandMidwife @ychristley

#withwoman to me means to stand with a woman, guiding, advocating and supporting her through her journey as a mother. A complete privilege we as midwives are lucky to experience every day x

Norfolk is the only county in the UK without any confirmed cases of coronavirus The total lack of transport links to the rest of the UK is finally paying off

Being isolated from those we love is one of the toughest parts of being on the nhs front line at the moment. Hearing stories of mums leaving food outside the child’s bedrooms - so they won’t catch Covid 19 breaks my heart. I’m thinking of you all x

To our NNUH midwives join us at Evidence Club on Microsoft Teams Nov 18th 1030 to review and discuss best evidence relating to Positions in Labour.

Latent Phase of Labour is integral to midwifery practice but what is the evidence which defines it or it’s progression? Can anyone share their evidence/thoughts on the Latent Phase? We r holding an Evidence Club on this topic at the NNUH 💕Sheena Byrom she/her 💕 Royal College of Midwives 💙 NNUH Professional Midwifery Advocates

Hi is anyone/any unit out there in England following the WHO definition of active first stage of labour starting from 5cm?

Looking forward to discussing the best evidence surround latent phase of labour at the NNUH Evidence Club tomorrow. Women are in labour when they perceive their labour begins, let’s be ‘with woman’ and use language which doesn’t undermine them.

Our NNUH PMA Evidence Club will be exploring ‘Language in Maternity’. We would love to hear from midwives, obstetrician, women and families about their experiences of the use on language in maternity. Please DM me to join our session.

Does anyone have suggestions for names of delivery suite and midwifery led units which refrain from the words Delivery and led? This would help our work greatly. Thanks 😊 💕Sheena Byrom she/her 💕 Norwich RCM Dr Kelda Folliard MIDIRS

Looking at our intrapartum guideline and NICE- what do other units do if Progress in 1st stage <2cm in 4 hours, and woman has ruptured membranes? Do you go straight to considering oxytocin? Or wait 2 hrs to check if progress >1cm? @NICEComms@RCM_Norwich 💕Sheena Byrom she/her 💕

Hi does anyone know how to recover a chat off Snapchat - it’s to do with bullying x thanks
