At #LGCAwards - all public health teams already recognised for their work during the pandemic. And that was before dinner was served... I'll echo that for my whole (extended!) team :-)

Thought for the day….
After much discussion re front cover of the Lancet yesterday. I have also heard from some as to how feminism is about being inclusive so it should not matter that women we’re not mentioned. I agree feminism is about inclusion but here is my take.#ENOUGH

@sheena_byrom @ACBmidwife So so true

[💕Sheena Byrom she/her 💕 @sheena_byrom]

It’s been a strange couple of weeks. I didn’t know how to articulate my feelings until @ACBmidwife (my amazing daughter) shared this with me. All I can say is that it helped.

Let them be. #letthembe

When it comes to exercise, some is good, but more is better – the more time active you are, the greater the health benefits 🏃

Remember every minute counts! ⌚

What exercise have you done or will you do today?

Women and birthing people are NOT required to wear masks during labour. We are grateful to @RCObsGyn for clarifying this point in their Q&A. If your Trust is routinely requiring women to cover their face in labour, please contact us asap at [email protected]
