"I'm having a #VBAC. Should I have #CTG monitoring?" It's one of my most common questions. Here's the #evidence. Also, why is there a goat? https://t.co/AIoXxwhDfe #EFM #Stillbirth #UterineRupture #HIE #NeonatalDeath #CaesareanSection #midwifery #Maternity

@gilesywagon @LTUJudithLumley @latrobe Huzzah!!! How marvellous!!

[Robyn Matthews @RobynMatthews62]

Excited this is officially out - by focusing on support and acknowledgement especially in midwives <35 years old we can potentially reduce burnout for midwives and make a difference in the sustainability of the profession! @womenandbirth

Read a systematic review of factors associated with nurses and sickness absenteeism. Associations found were being female, older, smoking and poor general health.

Recommendation in review - avoid employing nurses with those traits.

Can anyone see a possible flaw in this plan?

[Robyn Matthews @RobynMatthews62]

@BoutrosLiz @tseenster So tempting to just stay at the screen isn't it! #LTUREDchat

[Robyn Matthews @RobynMatthews62]

@tseenster A2: Booking in regular exercise time (used to walk to work, so miss that now), good opportunity to go out and 'think' than sit and stare at a computer! #LTUREDchat
