We should embrace and support the mavericks, rebels, heretics & renegades in our organisations. Rather than being difficult troublemakers, they may just be the brilliant people who can shift us into a different future sloanreview.mit.edu/article/how-a-… Via @mitsloan #100RepeatTweets no. 70

Very much worth hearing what birth activist Emma Ashworth has to say about respectful conversations, decision making and human rights in childbirth. And a blunt reminder about who is “allowed” to do what to whom #birthrights player.fm/series/the-ult…

Waterbirth - yet more evidence of good neonatal and maternal outcomes. Water immersion should be an option for all; we need to provide better info in pregnancy and make pools available in all birth settings to improve equitable access and use.

This is such an important study, demonstrating the safety of waterbirth for women and babies. Lots of work to do to improve access to and use of pools by all women who want the option so it is an equitable choice.

I’m proud that people from nearly 200 countries work in our NHS. I completely condemn this racist violence and stand with our staff and the communities they live and work in. Thank you to our emergency services who are working hard to keep everyone safe.
