Military personnel are 11% female, mostly young/middle-years. They & their family members will need maternity care. Often are posted abroad or elsewhere in UK during pregnancy. When & where do we hear their voices? @NCTcharity @BICSoc

Just published short article in BMJ about fatigue in healthcare
As pressures are greater than ever, it’s imperative that NHS staff are supported in looking after their physical & mental health & well being so they can provide the best care for patients

Staff regularly fed back to us of being overworked, exhausted & stressed – sometimes to the point of becoming ill, injured or leaving their job altogether.
They say this can affect their ability to provide safe and effective care to people.

According to the CQC, two thirds of maternity services in England DO NOT meet required safety standards. Read this short Board report to see what the NHS England team is saying they are doing. Is it enough?

CQC's latest annual State of Care report offers a stark overview of maternity service quality in England. Half (49%) are not good enough.
AIMS campaigns for a radical transformation in the organisation of maternity services, to drive quality, safety and equity.
It's time.
📢 Our #StateOfCare report is now available on our website.
It's our annual assessment of health care and social care in England. We look at the trends, share examples of good and outstanding care, and highlight where care needs to improve.

Nearly there - less than £100 to go! We could not have come this far without your support. Spread the word in the final 24 hours. We want to make that difference for all those who need a maternity service that can work for them. #biggive #WGMF

We're hosting a candle-lit service for families to remember the lives of babies who sadly died too soon.
On Sunday 15 October, the annual #WaveofLight event will take place at Royal Bolton Hospital’s Baby Memorial Garden.
People can gather from 6.45pm ahead of a 7pm start.

I cannot put into words how hard it is to work in the NHS.
The suffering we see on a daily basis, really does take its toll.
It's been a really tough week.
Please support us as we try to stand up for our patients, our colleagues and our NHS.

It’s the new buzzword of team development but here is how to build psychological safety, and the hierarchy of needs that define the order of how #psychologicalsafety is built.

I’ve put together a petition asking for PTSD to be screened for at the six week check where there has been a traumatic pregnancy/birth/NICU stay etc. I’d be grateful if you could sign and share ❤️ @BirthTrauma #birthtrauma #ptsd petition.parliament.uk/petit…

“Well-trained midwives working in a fully functional environment could provide 90% of all essential sexual, reproductive, maternal&newborn health services, yet because they are underutilised & in short supply, they account for only 10% of those currently providing these services”
There is a global shortage of almost a million midwives, even though they could help avert roughly two thirds of maternal and newborn deaths.
This is one investment the world cannot afford to miss: unf.pa/mid
