Today's #WorldPatientSafetyDay focuses on the importance of engaging patients for patient safety. The role of patients, their families and carers and others, working with healthcare staff, is vital to making care safer, and a key part of the NHS Patient Safety Strategy.

To everyone getting their results today, well done and good luck for the future! Midwifery has been a wonderful career for me. When a baby is born it is a profound moment for a family; as a midwife you are central to this. It is a privilege to be part of it! #DearFutureMidwife
‘If you have an interest in caring for people, definitely look into midwifery!’ If you received your results today and are looking to start an exciting new career, there are hundreds of rewarding roles like Madeline’s in the NHS. Search ‘NHS careers’ to find one for you.

Midwifery is much more effective when midwives are educated, trained, regulated and integrated in a healthcare system with effective teamwork that takes women’s health into account.

Maternal outcomes & experiences must not be influenced by skin colour, ethnicity, or socio-economic status. Everyone working in maternity services has a part to play. Listen to what women say, understand & then act in a way that is mutually agreeable
