LOL took them 6 months to learn no lessons from the datix I submitted in Feb🤔 okay then. But if it was the other way round I’d have to write a reflection to evidence the lessons learnt 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
When your both nurses and have no child care ………. Change over happens in corridors 🤦🏻♀️
Every doctor should have to work for a year each as an HCA, nurse, dietician, physiotherapist, pharmacist, occupational therapist, physician associate, midwife, psychologist, ward clerk and phlebotomist before being allowed to work as a doctor. No exceptions.

Be prepared for a number of tweets about my mums MBE and related interviews today.... #sorrynotsorry @hsoltani1 @MidwiferySHU Professor of maternal and infant health awarded MBE | Sheffield Hallam University shu.ac.uk/news/all-artic…
@MidwiferySHU Thank you. Then our job here is done 🥰
So our festive festival countdown is complete. The SHU child nursing lecturers have great pleasure in releasing their Covid Christmas hit. Wishing you all a joyous and peaceful festive season after what has been a challenging year for us all youtu.be/HT8yrIaZ2RU
I’ve read and re-read the report over the last two days. I’ve felt enormous sadness and shock that this still happens at a scale that is unimaginable. This report is about babies dead or permanently harmed.
The first report into maternity services at the Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Trust (SaTH) was released today #ockendenmaternityreview ockendenmaternityreview.org.uk
Today’s Quote of the Day. “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty” Sir Winston Churchill.
We need this to be everyone's business - not just the local and national leaders, the report writers. We need to create the right culture throughout the whole system so that every person working in maternity care is committed to supporting safe positive birth every day.
5. We need to focus on what we do well. Safety II Vs safety I. We get it right so many times. Let's celebrate this - and learn from our successes. The system is becoming overloaded with regulation and reporting of no proven benefit - we need to start asking what we can take away
4. We need the resources to make our jobs easier. The right number of staff to perform key leadership roles as well as the daily staffing of the units. Equipment that is fit for purpose. Trusts that listen to us when we ask for crucial kit - informatics, working PCs.
3. We need a focus on psychological safety for maternity staff. Accountability without blame. Leaders that understand risk management and government and have the time to focus on staff wellbeing, multidisciplinary education, and addressing system errors.
2. We need to put kindness, empathy, and listening to women at the heart of all maternity services. Why does this get lost? Burnout, targets, focussing on the wrong things. Services that aren't designed around women's voices and their needs, and a fear of change?
If we were starting from scratch, what would good look like? Can we break down traditional barriers between professions / service users / lobby groups to unite and design an ideal maternity service? Would policy makers and politicians listen and create the resources?
1. There is so little standardisation in the way maternity services are delivered, despite consistency in reporting and regulation. Many inquiries and reports reveal cultures - "this is how it's always been done around here".
Reflecting on the Ockenden report today - sadly so many similarities to other inquiries. How do we change the system? How to we move it from "someone will read this and make some changes" to "collectively, together, we will make the change? These are my personal thoughts....
The Ockenden Review published today needs to be a “watershed” moment for the system. Reducing risk in maternity services needs a holistic approach. Read our joint response with @MidwivesRCM here: fal.cn/3c8VV
