Today’s theme for #MMHAW24 is ‘Moving together through your changing world’.

We're focussing on your changing world at work with a guest blog from the brilliant Krystal Wilkinson: maternalmentalhealthalliance.org/news/maternal-…

#RediscoveringYou #MaternalMHmatters #StrongerTogether

Reason to kick out the #Tories Yes, we must control UK’s borders. But £2Million per person to #Rwanda while some UK people live off food banks. #Sunak finds 5000 court hours & judges for his Rwanda obsession but not for victims of rape, burglary & violence People please note!

Those of us in health care remember Dan Poulter Dr Dan-He was The Labour Party inclined in terms of the health service being free at the point of use & of good quality Other good #Tories what are you waiting for? Dump the #AwfulRishi & his cruel mob who can’t be arsed about poor people

The is about office gossip. Don’t believe a word they say about her!!😔 apple.news/A94uWEUM4S4OaG…

Kick off to today’s #appg on #BlackMaternalHealth Many ⁦Royal College of Midwives 💙⁩ here today

The RCOG has launched a series of translated patient information resources. The new pilot includes a variety of different patient information resources from topics such as early miscarriage, preeclampsia and pelvic inflammatory disease. Find out more here: brnw.ch/21wJ2Ls

It’s Black maternal health week! Despite progress, Black women are still four times more likely to die in pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period in the UK (MBRRACE 2023)

Each day has a different theme all under the overarching goal of 'Advancing Black Maternal Health'

“Judges need training, urgently – and not training they have written themselves – but expert domestic abuse training from charities who work with survivors… No survivor of abuse should be frightened that a judge will back an abuser & put her & her children in danger.”

Too much loyalty can harm workers who risk being given extra work for little extra reward. After all, dogs are known for their loyalty but not for their brains econ.st/3PX8uaZ 👇

“if continuity of care was a drug it would be a blockbuster’

Yes, #Sunak introduced this Smoking Bill. Don’t let him claim this as his legacy alone. Let’s not forget that it was Alan Milburn in the last The Labour Party govt. that brought in the first legislation to ban smoking in public places/ restaurants/bars & it’s saved many lives

Thx to sensible MPs, the Smoking Bill has passed the next stage despite the awful #naysayers Tory MPs. Do they understand the health consequences & cost to NHS & society from smoking? Kudos to Laura Farris MP for speaking of her experience as a 12 year old smoker. 👏🏾👏🏼👏🏽

This is continuation of the work all those years ago when ⁦Royal College of Midwives 💙⁩ & partners - ⁦ASH⁩ ⁦RCPCH⁩ & others campaigned for legislation to ban smoking in public places Tory MPs opposing the current Bill shd think #HealthImpact apple.news/ALA3NrOAXSRCz2…

I mean really what do we expect. The tobacco industry would do anything to push their poison & there #MPs willing to help them. So people don’t forget. #shameful liveapp.inews.co.uk/2024/04/15/rev…

Nice Cardi & speech. 👏🏾👏🏾Alice Sorby
