If everyone who is grateful for NHS staff right now followed and retweeted, we would reach a million by midnight. It will take just two seconds to do, and you can help us share important information that could help save lives.
Our members are in contact with their local Ambulance Services for latest updates and discussions with families on most appropriate way to transfer when needed.

There's just is no interest from most HOMs & DOMs - members being put under incredible pressure to support as many families as possible, in dire circumstances. No PPE for out of hospital staff, hard to get equipt delivered in time. #notinittogether #independentmidwivesuk

#IndependentMidwives have been contacting Trusts and offering services up and down the country - to very little traction from HOMs & DOMs. We are now inundated with worried families trying to scrape the money to cover the PII. #NotInItTogether #noton #dowhatwecan

This is especially applicable to healthy women giving birth, let’s learn from Italy’s mistakes. Healthy labouring women should not come to hospitals overflowing with covid patients!!! @teamcmido @MidwivesRCM @debbie50308613 @nmcnews @IMUKMidwifery

Banning HBs, Banning waterbirths, banning entonox - where is the evidence on low risk women? No symptoms, no contact with #COVIDー19 confirmations. #NoConsistancy between Trusts to start with. #IMUK not even in the loop.

For women without symptoms & have self isolated?? The guidance is vague and differently interpreted throughout the country. They are planning HBs because they do not feel safe going to hospital, not for a "nice" experience!

2/2 We are currently advising against homebirth for anyone with suspected or diagnosed Covid-19, due to the continuous monitoring and medical backup that is needed to keep you and your baby safe. More here: bit.ly/2U0e5Rm #covidmaternity @RCObsGyn

@thatmidwife @ClaireElliott2 @Gracewife @KingsMaternity @KingsCollegeNHS @MidwivesRCM @RCObsGyn @susan_bewley I know this is really really complex. This is where @IMUKMidwifery might be able to alleviate some of the staffing issues and support women at home.
@ClaireElliott2 @QuashieMichelle @KingsMaternity @KingsCollegeNHS @MidwivesRCM @RCObsGyn @susan_bewley @IMUKMidwifery has been desperate to help but it is proving difficult as contracts would need to be worked out with CCGs and Trusts. Not sure how they are getting on at the moment.
This is especially applicable to healthy women giving birth, let’s learn from Italy’s mistakes. Healthy labouring women should not come to hospitals overflowing with covid patients!!! @teamcmido @MidwivesRCM @debbie50308613 @nmcnews @IMUKMidwifery
Without sufficient basic supplies for protection of health care workers, some overwhelmed Italian hospitals became sources of spread. Lessons here push for treating as many as possible at home. statnews.com/2020/03/21/cor…
It’s so important for Independent midwives to contact their local Heads/Directors of midwifery and regional Chief Midwives@ to offer support. Thankyou for your letters which I have personally responded to encouraging this. Please email for further advice if required.
@teamcmido Could you explain why the help that experienced independent Midwives have offered hasn’t been taken up, yet unqualified Midwives are being encouraged to work before qualifying? How will those students have support? Why are students OK to help but experienced Midwives are not?
@BryanLeonie @teamcmido DM me if you can, depending where you are I have some HOM's /cons mw's very keen for your help
@IMUKMidwifery @PrivateMidwives really important message Thank you @MidwivesRCM @RCNMidwives
It’s so important for Independent midwives to contact their local Heads/Directors of midwifery and regional Chief Midwives@ to offer support. Thankyou for your letters which I have personally responded to encouraging this. Please email for further advice if required.
@IMUKMidwifery @MegMiskin1 I've seen that some hospitals are suspending their homebirth service altogether. Seems unfair if some Trusts like @NHSHomerton are (so I've heard) scaling up and others cancelling #postcodelottery
@MyTrimester @DrFeeleyRM @teamcmido @IMUKMidwifery IMUK has been inundated with requests by all accounts.
@IMUKMidwifery @sheena_byrom @AcornBirth @TopGunMidwife @MidwifeAnnabel @BACtoNormality @OxMidwives @babycatcher96 @MidwivesRCM come on let's get these brilliant, skilled midwives to help! it's a win-win for all @TPM_Journal @TSM_Journal @all4maternity @all4birth
@MidwivesRCM @RCObsGyn Can you help trusts use IM's, as apparently it is at their discretion, so may need some input or help to get things up and running? @IMUKMidwifery @birthrightsorg This could help with the increased demand in homebirth?
Happy to help if NHS can find a way to use our expertise

@IMUKMidwifery @sheena_byrom YES! Have added this to the RCM/RCOG q&a- they need to help facilitate this to happen. I am sure trusts would be grateful for the professional support but might need some help making it happen given they're so stretched @MidwivesRCM @RCObsGyn
