Last week Bath, this week Birmingham, another direct train to Cardiff cancelled, shocking service @GWRHelp

[Frances Hodge @fran453]

Birthday day out for the big boy nearly ruined by the shocking service from @GWRHelp yesterday but the burgers at @thebeefyboys were amazing!! Well worth the trip!

@DHSCgovuk @wesstreeting Cont……but rather than another report that will undoubtedly demonstrate the same themes, why not use the money to look at the already identified themes and see what we can implement on a national basis to improve them? @wesstreeting

[Frances Hodge @fran453]

@DHSCgovuk @wesstreeting @wesstreeting I appreciate your commitment to maternity services, however all the reports in the last 10 years have demonstrated the same themes. I understand looking at high performing units to learn from them.

Loved last weeks TED conference from @CTMMedEd so much food for thought from QI to AI and everything inbetween! Always such a fabulous day and demonstrates the value CTM place on their educators…thank you and looking forward to next year!

@Beth_Baldwin This was even better!

Well..Rhod Gilbert was incredible last night. I’ll be honest, I was unsure how he would pull off a comedy night about cancer but what an absolute masterpiece that was!!! Absolutely brilliant. Thought provoking, informative, heart felt and of course funny!

We really need to work on this….single biggest modifiable risk factor for poor birth outcomes.

[RoyalCollegeObsGyn @RCObsGyn]

Smoking in pregnancy is the single biggest modifiable risk factor for poor birth outcomes, increasing the risks of stillbirth, miscarriage, preterm birth, low birthweight, heart defects and sudden infant death. (1/2)

Very disappointed with @British_Airways today. If we’d checked in 4 bags we could have taken 92kg of luggage for free. But because our only bag was over 23kg we had to pay £65?!? Really? Where is the justification?!? After that was fabulous, cabin crew great. #easyjet next time

@Beth_Baldwin @walesbotanic @OrganisedKaosYC Toilet seat was bright red, I think to draw attention/focus on the purpose 👍🏻

[Frances Hodge @fran453]

First time I’ve seen this @walesbotanic 😍 plus a fabulous day with @OrganisedKaosYC the kids loved it and definitely something for everyone, thank you!

[Frances Hodge @fran453]

@HannahRaval Insight is positive, don’t be afraid to ask for help if you feel you need it, no one expects you to be fully independent, we have all been there and will be happy to support you through the transition. It’s not easy but you will get there!

[Frances Hodge @fran453]

@Beth_Baldwin Love this Beth 😍 you have done such an incredible job sharing Peter’s story to help others. So so proud of all you have achieved in his memory. You really are a superstar 😘 x
