Much love to all that have lost a baby at any stage #BLAW2022#groupbstrepawareness
@GBSSupport have launched their new campaign #EndGBSinfection on Sky News and they need your help!
Will you take two minutes to ask your MP to prioritise group B Strep research? https://t.co/BebvvO6QOn
Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this scandal.
Kayleigh & Colin Griffiths bravely shared their experience of group B Strep and poor care, kickstarting the investigation into maternity care at Shrewsbury & Telford Hospital NHS Trust https://t.co/RPQLVSHC1B
50 babies a year die from silent killer Strep B infection which is passed on by mother during birth and 70 a year are left with severe disabilities. My call for hospitals to sign up to the screening trial and let’s put an end to this. @GBSSupport https://t.co/VeBgrUFc0x
Last week I wrote to all trust CEOs asking them to follow the 2017 RCOG guidelines as closely as possible using ECM (enriched culture medium) testing in order to provide the highest standard of care possible for both mother and baby. #Patientsafety

@CiaraOnly1 I just visited! I had no idea about this so thank you for raising awareness. My daughter was stillborn at 41+2 due to GBS and my waters never fully broke. Some days I feel like I am making no difference raising awareness. We must keep going though as it all helps. Big hugs xx
Get your free ECM testing kit at https://t.co/s3GLNyRh5x there is no obligation. If you choose to take the test there is a fee if £35 paid directly to the laboratory.
Bake sale going really well so far! Please come and see us and get a treat if you are around in @CodebaseTech today! Thanks again @GetAdministrate, really proud and happy we are helping @GBSSupport!
@Iwanrunner@GBSSupport Such great news. Just wish they had been running it 8 years ago as it would have most certainly saved my daughter Ella 💔fingers crossed the trial is successful!! Xx
Obviously a subject very close to my heart having nearly lost Teddy to this illness still living with the fear he could have long-term complications but so happy reading this news @GBSSupport Hospitals to test mums-to-be for risky group-B strep https://t.co/rRRvsJnd8y
