When I turned 40 I went for a mammogram provided by @actioncancer as I don’t fall into the routine screening yet. This service is free (although a donation is welcomed ☺️) and open to everyone 40-49 and over 70! Tell everyone about this & encourage your loved ones to get checked.
We are so appreciative of our activists, they really are the backbone of the RCM 💜 supporting colleagues and advocating for midwifery. Together, RCM activists and members are the largest and strongest maternity organisation in the world
I had a conversation today about the difference between "kindness" & "niceness" in leadership so I decided to post about it. The article & graphic explain why, as leaders, we should choose kindness over niceness. Kindness is about caring enough to push people toward greatness, even when it’s uncomfortable. It’s a harder path but better in the long run:

Healthcare workers in Northern Ireland may take industrial action over pay parity, unions have warned. The news comes after the Health Minister said he may not be able to match pay deals being given to healthcare staff in other parts of the UK.
Huge thanks to all the NHS staff who are doing their best to keep the health service going despite having far fewer staff than we need.
We see what you do, and couldn’t be more grateful 💙
@sarajcox Before I got married my surname was Nightingale… grew up to be a midwife so that used to get some interesting comments - mostly enquiring about my Aunt Florence 😀
For children who have speech or communication needs such as stammers, school can be a challenge. But now new lessons have been developed by the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists in NI to try and support these pupils. And they've received some high-profile backing.
So proud of Alex & Thomas being part of Buddy Chat. Congratulations to @RCSLTNI on the launch of this amazing resource to help kids become kind caring communicators 💙
Delighted to see these boys at the Buddy Chat launch - true stars of the show ✨
