Some very unexpected news arrived in my inbox over the Summer when I was informed that I was to be awarded an honorary* MBE by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office for services to Women’s Cancer Support at @MummysStar
Listed publicly today, it’s a really wonderful surprise 1/3

Midwifery/lactation consultants out there…what are your experiences when submitting an IFR for Donor Breast milk for families in your areas?
Accepted? Declined? Who normally takes the lead on submission?

@MummysStar The charity has grown steadily supporting over 2,000 families and educating and training over 10,000 students and healthcare professionals and that is a collective achievement by a team, trustees, supporters but most importantly the families we support.
Thank You ☺️

Establishing @MummysStar in 2013 stemmed from the worst kind of heartbreak imaginable, losing Mair with two children who were just 10 weeks and 3 at the time.
I wanted other families who found themselves in this awful situation to be seen, heard, and looked after 2/3
In the UK, 1 in 4 people will have suicidal thoughts at some point in their lifetime.
You are not alone - reach out to your support team.

A key clinical message which would take in the potential identification of cancer red flags in pregancy/postnatally in today’s @mbrrace report “Need for inquisitiveness” which further backs our calls to See The Symptom when assessing any new or changing issues @MummysStar
