Working in partnership with women is key to person-centred midwifery care. Register for our webinar ⏰5-6pm, 20 September, and hear from two new mothers about the impact of their strong partnerships with midwives 👇 ow.ly/LfoY50PHTXf
When a woman says she was raped, she’s asked ‘why didn’t you report to the police?’ The police recorded 67,169 rapes in 2022. Only 2 in 100 rapes were charged. Instead of asking why victims don’t report rape, let’s ask police why they’re failing to hold rapist’s accountable.
Half of anxiety and depression cases in new mothers in UK missed, says report. Top midwives are calling for 350 additional midwives @MidwivesRCM @pushcampaignorg @world_midwives @consideredview @BirteLam @GillWaltonRCM @EUMidwives @dunkleybent theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

This post has sparked some interesting comments. For me, it highlights the importance of healthcare professionals understanding of what each of our roles and responsibilities are and the need for collegial recognition and respect. #safety #civilitysaveslives
For non medics: Midwife = nurse specialised in delivering babies Paediatric Arrest = child stops breathing +/- heart stops beating, when this happens you put out a… Crash Call = you dial a number that ‘bleeps’ members of the crash team, mostly comprised of junior doctors
All I can say is if men had an equivalent procedure to mammograms where their testicles were squeezed flat in a machine they’d have invented a better way to do it in a drop second.
We're pleased to see recognition in this report of the lack of consideration given to pregnancy and motherhood in community sentence requirements and probation supervision.
📢We’ve published our report “Cutting crime: better community sentences”. We set out our proposals for making the most of community sentences. With the right investment, intensive community sentences can succeed where short prison sentences fail.
