Medical misogyny has cast a long shadow over maternity care. Too many women dismissed, their pain minimised. We're building an NHS that listens to women - getting to the root of problems, investing in services and renewing our Women's Health Strategy. https://t.co/s0J042WqGE

Pleased to have attended the launch of Time to Act: Stopping Group B Strep Infections in Newborn Babies event, hosted by @AndyMacNaeMP & Baroness Ritchie. GBS infections remain a serious concern for newborns & their families. We must strengthen prevention, reporting & screening.

Our Policy and Public Affairs Officer, Honey Alma, and London Team Manager, Ronnie Stockton, recently met with @AndyMacNaeMP to discuss the intersections between our work and maternity services, particularly the APPG on Baby Loss and Maternity and the upcoming maternity

🧵 Attending the APPG on Baby Loss and Maternity event today. @AndyMacNaeMP opens by reflecting on the recent baby loss debate recognising bereavement care as "a crucial part of the equation" & yet with funding pressures "one of the things we see squeezed is bereavement support".

It was standing room only yesterday at the All-Party Parliamentary Groups on #BabyLoss and Maternity event on bereavement care. Panellists set out why good bereavement care is so important for families affected by baby loss and for the maternity and neonatal system. #APPG 1/3

“Lack of social mobility embeds deprivation and embeds inequality” @AndyMacNaeMP on why social mobility is such a massive issue in modern Britain.

Help us make a difference this Baby Loss Awareness Week💖💙 Will you ask your MP to attend the debate and wear a baby loss awareness ribbon badge to Prime Minister’s Questions? ⬇️ https://t.co/Z6wo87yBoj

I look forward to seeing you at the debate on Monday, Wes. It's a sign of how seriously this government is taking the issue of Baby Loss that the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care is helping to raise awareness and will be participating in Monday's debate.

Today is the start of Baby Loss Awareness Week, which runs from 9-15 October. This week is a time to remember much-missed babies, reach out to anyone who's been through baby loss and raise awareness for those who don't know how many people it impacts: https://t.co/TAHv2ax2tW

If you watched the recent debate on support for terror survivors, you may have heard @AndyMacNaeMP reference the Survivors' Charter and its eight key principles. Created by @Survivors_a_t the Charter outlines what effective, compassionate support for survivors should look like.

Glad to see this op-ed written by @AndyMacNaeMP and myself has now been published on @UKParliament’s News site. https://t.co/RHS2m7leuK

Brilliant article by my colleague @AndyMacNaeMP. “This back-and-forth between forecasts and policy reactions creates volatility, rather than stability.” 💯

The OBR is always wrong. Making economic policy by forecast is driving Britain in circles. @AndyMacNaeMP
