Awful? Yes. Unexpected? No. I hope these whistleblowers are being protected and treated well, and I hope their bravery emboldens other midwives to speak up and raise their concerns. #midwifery #whistleblow #maternity #earlycareermidwives.
This is awful news - Report finds safety concerns at Edinburgh maternity unit due to understaffing.

Midwife designs special scrubs for fathers of C-section babies Proud of my colleagues leading the way in Scotland☺️ Being able to offer skin to skin to all babies, in all circumstances, makes such a difference ❤️.#midwifery #skintoskin @ScotlandRCM.

The scrubs allow newborn babies to receive the health benefits of skin-to-skin contact while mums undergo surgery.

“For antiracism work to work we need to create a culture and understanding that this has to be built collaboratively. We have to provide safe spaces for people to ask the questions to give us agency & help us use our voice.” Samia Kaddeer, Lecturer @UniWestScotland @ScotlandRCM

“Midwives are central, essential to postnatal care. You can’t divide up the care women are getting. We have to find better ways to support midwives to do midwifery. To make sure women don’t fall through the cracks with fragmented care.” Prof @maryrenfrew on importance of PN care.

“Midwives are the only people there for all women and babies at all points in the continuum. They are the glue that holds the system together. The fact that midwifery is weakened in the UK at the moment is a big issue. But it can be fixed.” Dr @maryrenfrew #SMiLe24 @ScotlandRCM
