Honoured to contribute a foreword to this book on why mothers died & so importantly how we saved lives. Reading it feels like standing on the shoulders of giants: those who did so much to keep women safe. A stark reminder of so much to do going forward, no room for complacency

The response from all of you lovely people has been incredible. We had no idea that the podcast would be this well received & still can’t quite believe that something we started in a bedroom in Essex during lockdown is now helping people across the globe.
