'When midwives talk about leaving, we don’t say that as some political bargaining tool. The average salary for a midwife is £37,179 per year; I’m not in this job for money. But, equally, I’m not a volunteer. I’m here as a professional' @AnnaLouiseKent thetimes.co.uk/article/confe…

Our members are angry and feel let down by the Government. We have repeatedly warned of a “gaping hole” in midwife staffing levels with a shortage of well over 2,000 staff, this pay award means more may leave says RCM's Suzanne Tyler telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/08…

Does the Covid vaccine really affect your period? Here’s what our study found | Viki Male

The results are reassuring: the changes are small and short-lived, and other studies show the jab does not affect fertility, says Viki Male, a lecturer in reproductive immunology

Our paper on the effect of #CovidVaccination on #periods in 2 cohorts is out now in @FrontRepHealth! 🗝️ Periods slightly late following vaccination 🗝️ But return to normal the following cycle 🗝️ Combined hormonal contraception seems to protect vs this frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

Effects of COVID infection on the cycle are way harder to study than vaccination, because infection is not a single, scheduled event in the way that vaccination is. So the evidence here is weaker. But I would love to see more work in this area. 2/

Lots of ppl getting in touch today to say they noticed a change to their period after a COVID *infection* (not vaccination). There are two studies that point to a potential link between COVID infection and menstrual changes... 1/ ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article… ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…
