My opinion piece on the looming staffing crisis in midwifery education. If there are not enough educators and recognition of midwifery leadership in HEIs, then the shortage of midwives continues. rcm.org.uk/news-views/rcm… #midwiferyeducation #careerdevelopment

Fantastic to see our activity presented this way. 2021 was a record breaker for a number of reasons and saw births in Wishaw climb for the first time in 5 years. Team Maternity Wishaw Thanks Lorna lennox

Great to hear Lauren Sutherland KC reminding us that it’s information that is “shared”, the decision belongs to the patient according to the law #masicwebinar #consent Birthrights

⁦@Stroppybrunette⁩ raises a point about the use of CTGs in maternity, reliance on this technology as a ‘canary in the coal-mine’ & the poor evidence base for effectiveness. Kirkup agrees.

The new model of neonatal intensive care is based on evidence that care for babies at highest risk is safest in units which can treat a high volume of patients. This decision has been made in line with advice from expert clinicians ➡️bit.ly/Neonatal_Inten…
