Great review looking at the role of the midwife in the Place of Birth decision making process. If you're a midwife...tell me,how you discuss & document PofB in your Trust? What goes well and what could be done better? Interested to hear national views ☺ https://t.co/fchiMI8szX

These three surveys focus on women's experiences of decision support with planning mode of birth, place of birth and induction of labour. We invite women who have had a baby in NHS Grampian in the last 6 months to take part. @jayne_forrest @OTRMW @MidwivesRGU @JacquelineKedd5

We are proud to support #BlackHistoryMonth. DYK Dr Christopher James Davis was the 1st black graduate from @aberdeenuni Medical School? Saving hundreds of lives in the FrancoPrussian War, he was a pioneer of good diet/nutrition to aid recovery and an advocate for the poor.

[Dr Gray's Hospital @DrGrays_Elgin]

Via #NHSGTeamBluebell During the current pandemic, we do not have the same opportunities to meet as a group. For all the women cared for by #NHSGTeamBluebell, we have put together a short video, so you can meet us virtually and be able to recognise us even with our masks on.

@Kerri17955308 @Lindy2602 @GillianValenti3 Love this 💙💙💙
