How to say no. A superb article: "In a world that often values compliance over authenticity....we find ourselves entangled in a web of obligations, constantly saying yes to requests that may not align with our true desires or priorities. Yet, buried beneath the layers of societal expectations & internalised guilt lies the power to reclaim our autonomy".
This article explains:
- the reasons why we always say yes
- why we should learn to say no
- how to recognise when not to say yes
- tips for learning how to say no
- different (positive) ways of saying no
- how to deal with unwelcome responses

On what is in some ways the hardest day of my year but in other ways the most positive, as we release the latest report from the @mbrrace confidential enquiries into maternal deaths and morbidity, it is important we recognise the families and friends of the women who have died

Weak leadership in the context of midwifery has been linked to a range of scandals and adverse outcomes … but what does strong midwifery leadership look like? Our international appreciative inquiry aimed to find out: https://t.co/wmpxbc70N5

Interesting piece on antenatal steroids

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

Study finds about 40% of infants exposed to early antenatal corticosteroids were born at term, with associated adverse outcomes, highlighting the need for caution when considering antenatal corticosteroids.

Brilliant paper about abbreviations food for thought
