The Black Midwives Network UK acknowledges #nmcnews Independent Culture Review by #nazirafzal. It reveals institutional racism & delays in FtP hearings, leading to suicides. We demand thorough implementation of recommendations to restore confidence & protect Black registrants.

@TheBMA @wesstreeting has always been about massaging his own ego. He has no clue about the #aNHS and is nothing more than a typical snake in the grass. Hence his disclosure of all his WhatsApp messages to #Madelson months ago on #SkyNews

@NurseStandard Sounds like a system failure. Trying to understand why steroids are anywhere near the drug cupboard in a family planning clinic

@ShaunLintern Ok so who is going to held accountable why there was a coverup. This happens all the time in practice where there are selective coverups for some midwives by the managers. What happens now?

[Thompsons Solicitors @ThompsonsLaw]

Thompsons Solicitors is deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Emily Thornton, a talented and dedicated lawyer at the firm, who passed away in hospital just days after a road collision in Wales on 5 November 2024. https://t.co/6D4n79JRSl

I don't even know how to respond to this, especially as this is coming from another woman, who is also a mother😫

[Dr Ruth Oshikanlu MBE RN RM RHV QN FRCN FAAN FRSPH @RuthOshikanlu]

Sold out!!!😳
Just like that.
I'm honoured and grateful to give the lecture in the name of an amazing role model, @EAnionwu, Our 9ja Dame!
A wait list has been opened for those who haven't registered to attend.
The event will be hybrid and looking at other options to ensure those who want to attend in person, but haven't got tickets, can do so.
Will keep you posted....

So lucky to be invited to talk as part of this round table. I always benefit from meeting others who are so passionate and I am always learning. As we all are. It was an absolute pleasure.

The language barrier is a patient safety issue, without an interpreter there can be no informed choice, no informed consent (a legal requirement of care) and vital information not shared. 25 times more likely to die, 43% of intrapartum still births. HEAR ME!

[Black Midwives Network UK @BLACKMIDWIVESUK]

@catherineroyuk @wesstreeting Surprised that this is not a standard!

[Michael Morgan @mikecmorgan]

I’m with Shola on this one.

Further more I didn’t do Muay Thai, BJJ and Tae Kwon Do for 10 years to be battered by a cop. Nah…

@rogerkline Will be a difficult read and will surely be triggering!

[Black Midwives Network UK @BLACKMIDWIVESUK]

@CalvinMoorley @theRCN So that has to be pointed out to #theRCN for them to get it. There are a lot of us now who are no longer begging for Purchase a seat at the table. We are just getting our own furniture.

[Black Midwives Network UK @BLACKMIDWIVESUK]

It is one of the most serious and tragic childbirth injuries. And it is preventable https://t.co/IiuV9Fnhxa
