[Prof Michelle Heys @m_heys]

Thank-you so much!
I can't help but reflect today on some not so encouraging conversations I had early on in my academic career w senior academics about whether it is possible to be a successful academic working less than full time with children.

It is.
I did.
You can.

I saw the news story on twitter about plans to pharmacists to dispense #antibiotics without a prescription. I didn't believe it at first, and this would clearly take us backwards. We need to stand against this one folks #ip2022conf https://t.co/RK9BY3QUlw

[UK in Malawi @UKinMalawi]

HRH visited the neonatal unit where she was given a demonstration of the @TheNeotree System, which empowers health workers in low resource settings to count & care for every newborn. UK aid is supporting the system due to its potential to save many babies’ lives.
