Weak leadership in the context of midwifery has been linked to a range of scandals and adverse outcomes … but what does strong midwifery leadership look like? Our international appreciative inquiry aimed to find out: doi.org/10.1016/j.midw…

So overall, more or less as I would have expected it to be. I bet 95% of it had been written by Christmas Eve. I fear the collective powers-that-be have gained little and lost much of what goodwill remained by wrangling so long over the last 5%. Best of luck to everyone. (10/10)

Love this from The Cavendish Review support workers are 'dedicated, sometimes fierce advocates for the people they look after' (page 83).

Wowzers!!!
