A sensible approach to understanding why hospital based postnatal care rates so poorly … now over to midwives providing antenatal and labour care … the issues are the same … staffing levels just don’t add up to the needs of women and babies…

Thank you to Mary Renfrew who conducted the review into maternity services in N Ireland with integrity and compassion. #midwifery in Northern Ireland

Exciting opportunity in Cardiff: Senior Midwifery Manager

The POOL study have developed information for women and families wanting information about intrapartum pool use. @sandersj3 @CUhealthSci @CTRCardiffUni https://t.co/3h0vJTc3EI

We need to stop using the term ‘retained’. It implies the patient was responsible for the non return of the swab or instrument. They were either forgotten at the time of surgery, or staff failed to communicate vaginal packs needed later removal. #patientsafety

The POOL cohort study of UK NHS waterbirths is published. Large scale evidence that rates of OASI and serious neonatal morbidity are no higher among waterbirths after water immersion analgesia. Thank you to all participants, the 26 UK sites, and study team

Such an important study and so delighted to be involved with @RachelRowe3 and @sandersj3

Such an important essay on the challenges in smear uptake among women with vaginismus - who are just expected to put up with it like so many other areas of women’s health. There are woman-centred solutions, from self sampling to dedicated clinics. We owe it to women to sort this.

Another great opportunity for nurses, midwives, AHPs, pharmacists and healthcare scientists #HCP10 #NIHRNursingMidwifery

It may be of interest that in 🇦🇺 where sterile water injections in labour have been in use for longer that the national maternity 'service user' group - Maternity Choices Australia - is pretty keen for @NICEComms not to be put off from including this option in "guidelines".
