@Fi_Gibb @MidwivesRCM @DrSamC_M @JoDivers @BJMidwifery Interesting paper and may be able to draw some comparisons with the paramedic profession 🤔.

So Barclay claims AI will solve the NHS crisis?!

Meanwhile back here in NHS reality, we’re running NHS breast cancer clinics with paper notes & missing keyboard letters replaced with micropore!

When is this going to stop?! Women have had enough.

Casual sexual harassment whilst weeding “give you another job to do while you’re down there love”. And we wonder why and how it happens. 😡

So very much wrong with this…

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

It surprises me that the myth of learning styles persists (ie, that people are "visual", "auditory", "kinesthetic" or some other kind of learner). "Learning styles" still regularly appear in leadership development programmes & learning offers aimed at the NHS when the principle is widely debunked. We should use a variety of learning approaches for everyone. Why the myth persists: https://t.co/1Qy0rsNkoh Via @Shredwarrior @cdnorman

He’s back, and he’s doubling down. My goodwill towards @thetimes is dwindling considering the column inches he has been gifted with a personal interview, compared to the “rebuttal” of a couple of quotes lifted off social media condemning him.

This doesn't attract experienced professionals into HE and has resultant impacts on student education. Only thing that doesn't resonate from the report is representation at senior leadership level - Dean of school (and me!) at Suffolk both midwives!

[Jo Divers @JoDivers]

This was an interesting if unsurprising read. We know the age profile and qualifications of the midwifery education workforce have changed and it has always baffled me how the average entry level lecturer salary is less than a bottom band 6 midwife 1/2 https://t.co/WVleGaMFRp

Not ashamed to be proud, only got university status in 2016! Grateful to work alongside so many people determined to keep improving

Lil' ole Suffolk climbed another place in the Guardian rankings this year to number 68 out of 122 (climbed 2 places last year, 30 the year before). https://t.co/2IvO06VWry

Is the Russell Group still relevant? https://t.co/KV3DjIgp1L

I’ve benefitted from some time over the summer break to reflect on the whole nursing and midwifery education shizz… some ramblings ensued https://t.co/qNcZE6i92u
