Investing in staff and their skill development for vaginal breech births will achieve the same, if not better, results as universal third trimester ultrasound scanning and should be a priority. @optiBreech @MidwifeSpillane https://t.co/lbNLStPN4B

Read why our collaborators would like to help scale up OptiBreech care through participation in a cluster trial. https://t.co/IaKf8FUq9U

[Physiological Breech @Breech101]

Thinking of improving your breech guideline and/or care pathway? Consider doing it as part of a cluster trial. Expressions of interest invited. https://t.co/ejqQpHg4xE

How much of a difference does turning breech babies to a head-down position make, in settings where women have access to OptiBreech care? Share your views on our planned research! https://t.co/Z0NC1xQ6fA

Dr Shawn Walker explains why the combination of meconium and tachycardia, particularly in the first stage of labour, indicates increased risk in breech births. OptiBreech teams offer women a caesarean birth when these occur together. https://t.co/hLmJ9gxCrM

You are invited to help us design and deliver the next stages of OptiBreech research, March 6 and 14. https://t.co/1rHnoIiUZY

Teaching #breech manoeuvres to resolve complications and restore the normal mechanism at Brighton today. Fantastic turn out from passionate #midwives and #obstetricians wanting time extend their breech knowledge and skills @SisterShawnRM @MidwifeSpillane

[Physiological Breech @Breech101]

Teaching well under way at Brighton Hospital. Wonderful to have @Stringer4Kate to be teaching shoulder press with us today #breechbirth

[Physiological Breech @Breech101]

Why not treat yourself to a late Christmas present? Or make your #NewYears resolution to support a mother with a breech presentation? Last chance to book your tickets for our #PhysiologicalBreechBirth training day in the seaside town of Brighton! https://t.co/NKUd2hH0HC

[Physiological Breech @Breech101]

Evidence indicates in upright positions breech births occur spontaneously without intervention >50% of the time. BBN offers an EB way to learn through pattern recognition & manoeuvres alongside real birth videos. Book a place in Cambridge, Jan 2020 https://t.co/jGp9OOnOcu

We are facilitating our evidence-based training at Haywards Heath on 2nd Dec. Come & join us to learn new skills to facilitate #breechbirth & evidence to support #informedchoice @BSUHMatEdTeam @BSUH_maternity @SisterShawnRM @MidwifeSpillane https://t.co/ihIYwjJRJq

[Physiological Breech @Breech101]

We were training yesterday at Hinchingbrooke Hospital with #obstetricians and #midwives keen to improve their skills, knowledge and #choice for mothers. Why not book a training day at your Trust! Email [email protected] or follow link for more info https://t.co/GMCZLZXhqg

Amazing day of learning on the Physiological breech study day yesterday, feeling so inspired to keep learning more, and a lot less scared of breech now! @MidwifeSpillane @Breech101 @MidwifeBec @_amy_lou

“Individuals have breech skills institutions don’t.” Skilled individuals must attend breech births and institutions must support this! @SisterShawnRM @Breech101

[Emma Spillane 🌈 @MidwifeSpillane]

Members of a breech team do not attend breech births to take over facilitation of the birth, they are there to oversee the birth as a safety mechanism and to provide support and expertise to those facilitating the birth. #breechbirth #giveitawiggle @Breech101 @SisterShawnRM

[Emma Spillane 🌈 @MidwifeSpillane]

In @SisterShawnRM and De Anke Reitte’s video analysis research, buttock lift was used in 14% of births @Breech101 #giveitawiggle

[Physiological Breech @Breech101]

Let’s wipe this phrase out of breech Birth practice - don’t wait for the next contraction, encourage the mother to bear down and “dance” her baby out - avoid delays and improve neonatal outcomes. @SisterShawnRM @MidwifeSpillane #giveitawiggle
