Had a hysteroscopy with just ibuprofen from home as pain relief?
The NHS practice of ibuprofen + distraction is based on flawed @RCObsGyn/@TheBSGE guidance that removes anaesthesia.
Ibuprofen is for mild/moderate pain. https://t.co/32IFXzJ2Es It's not a nerve block.
The house The Independent built: why we’re campaigning for domestic abuse survivors
It has been fantastic to be involved in a new campaign by @Independent & @RefugeCharity 💝💝
A woman is killed by a partner or ex every 5 days. This must change.

I got to walk my daughter down the aisle and do the “father” of the bride speech. One of the most beautiful days of my life. We survived #DomesticAbuse and my wonderful daughter has a loving marriage ahead of her ❤️
Today is @C_Kneer's last day as CEO of I Choose Freedom. She has put her heart, body & soul into the DA awareness sector & it has been a privilege to have had her as part of I Choose Freedom for the last 14 years. Check out our tribute to her below 💜

Just a reminder for survivors: you may reject kind, suitable partners after #DomesticAbuse because being valued is uncomfortable compared to what you have been subjected to. Persevere if you can, you’re worth love ❤️
Why don’t we value carers? True story: carer gets bitten by a service user who has Covid. Carer contracts Covid and cannot work for a week. Employer pays SSP and carer cannot pay bills. This is not ok.
Choosing to leave has been the most difficult decision in my working life but when the time is right you just know. They’re going to carry on being amazing without me ❤️
🟣 I Choose Freedom Board Announce Emma Armstrong as new CEO:
It is with both sadness & gratitude I announce that after 14 years of service, @C_Kneer has resigned from her position as Chief Executive Officer at I Choose Freedom.
Emma will take up her new role as CEO on 01.03.24
@gailgeewhizz Thanks Gail, it’s been painful but also I know it’s right. I thought about you earlier today and when you left rise, I always think about the women who have dedicated so much of their lives to supporting other women so thank you xx
@Teresa_PS Thanks Teresa, I am so fortunate to have had such an amazing right hand woman as Emma and I know she’ll do a fantastic job. Walking away is hard when your life and work are so intertwined but that’s probably why I have to xxx
