Midwife moment 🩷

A woman stops me in the coffee shop ‘ you’re a midwife aren’t you, you looked after me 15 years ago’.

Made more special in that i was wearing a mask ‘i recognised your eyes’ she said🩷

She seemed very happy to meet me again ‘you never forget’ she said 🩷

[Orla Mongan @orlamonganAMP]

We are delighted to share our new 'Home from Home' birthing suite @WexGenHosp,welcoming many babies in this calming environment. This inspiring transformation is a wonderful addition to our maternity unit👏. Thanks @NMPDUKilkenny for supporting this initiative. #morechoice

[Dr Mary Curtin @Marytcurtin]

That would fall in line perfectly with strategic priority 2 - leadership. Let's see some midwifery leadership for documents that pertain to midwifery in @roinnslainte in the future please 5/5

[Dr Mary Curtin @Marytcurtin]

⭐ Why is the midwife an 'advisor' but the nurses are 'Deputy Chief Nurse' or 'Project nursing officers'?
⭐ Why do we have a chief medic, a chief dentis& a chief nurse in @roinnslainte but not a chief midwife?

Language matters. Nursing is not representing Midwifery but..
3/

[Dr Mary Curtin @Marytcurtin]

We have the CNO supported by multiple nursing staff (6) & a midwife 'advisor' (1).

Midwifery representation not even mentioned in the message from CNO - 'wider team'.

Midwives are not advisors to nurses. Midwifery is a legally separate profession&this does not read well 2/
