An insightful opportunity to be taught by the experts! @optibreech thanks for your invaluable knowledge! Loved learning about all things breech.. Even if I was asking @KerrieWykes for help with the midwifery lingo!
Thanks @EastEnglandAmb for the CPD as always and @damow67!

Those who have completed @OptiBreech training know what a difference optimal cord management and intact transition is making in our cohort. ⬇️study is about preterm birth but is looking for views to inform an important trial.

[Eleanor Mitchell @eleanor_mitch]

@JonDorling18 & I would 💜to hear health professionals' views on a clinical trial comparing timing of cord clamping in very preterm infants who need resuscitation at birth.

When breech births go wrong, the focus needs to be on what the evidence says will truly improve safety outcomes, not sensationalised 'us versus them' thinking. Please share with colleagues and networks.
