Happy Easter 🐣

Yesterday our new volunteer helped us deliver our Easter gifts to every premature baby at Birmingham Women's Hospital. They were delivered with a smile and cup of tea 😊

Welcome to the team Sarah ❤️

Congratulations to this wonderful group of social work students from Heart of Worcestershire College for completing their Youth Mental Health First Aid training.

It was an absolute pleasure to provide this training to an enthusiastic and passionate group.

6 years that we brought our #feisty #preemie home from the #NICU and began to navigate being a #family, after 10.5 weeks of what felt like just waiting to really meet him. This is why we need #FICare. Because no #parent should have to ask permission for #cuddles. #ZeroSeparation

If you have had experience of having a baby in neonatal care in the West Midlands in 2022 or 2023, we want to hear from you. Please share your feedback by completing this questionnaire to help us plan for the future and make sure that families are at the heart of improvements.

One day, NICE will realise that babies and children also have strokes (and other brain injuries). I'm yet to find any requirement to offer them any neurorehabilitation at all.

Very pleased to see this article published in @BAPM_Official @InfantJournal. We outline, for maternity and neonatal care, what "compassion" means in all its tricky splendour, why it's so important & why it can feel so tough @NeoLeaPEngland https://t.co/7m34S3mtE0. @REButterworth

[Davy Evans @DrDavyEvans]

A privilege to give voice to this message today @BAPM_Official. It's hard though: systems need space to breathe and think and be together in order to live it. As resources dwindle, this is the stuff that often disappears and then everything/everyone pays the price.

We had a wonderful time at the Wheel 'n' Walk event yesterday in @cannonhillpark with @CPMidlands @SENDSocialsBham @BhamPHABCamps @NoahsStar @FatherHudsons @HeadwayBS @nicecharityuk @CPMidlands @ResourcesAutism @touchbasepears so thanks to our Ambassadors for flying the flag.

[Dr C (Rachel) 💙 @DrColeFletch]

Not the first time I've heard @NeoResearch_Net speak about #thebutterflyproject 🦋 but never get bored of the crucial points he makes about how to support #families through #babybereavement of a #multiple. "The #NICU isn't a bubble but part of wider stories". 👏🏼

[Headway Birmingham @HeadwayBS]

So proud to be part of yesterday's #WheelnWalk event in #Birmingham .

As we walk away from Wednesday 1/2 way through Maternal MH awareness week I think it’s important to remember that those mothers who don’t get to “mother”are still deserving of Maternal MH services. These invisible women need this crucial support

@DrDavyEvans @WMNODN @5PillarsParent @MotherhoodGroup @NoahsStar This looks incredible- well done for this drive/motivation/creativity & funding- @NeoLeaPEngland we are all in awe!!! If ever a case of #StrongerTogether

Following a successful bid to @NIHRCypMedTech, we are delighted to be working with @Canopiehealth to develop an app to support the emotional wellbeing of parents/carers who have a baby on the neonatal unit. Parents/carers, we would love for you to join our first focus group! 👇
