Vaccine inequity not just unethical & inhumane, but "epidemiologically self defeating" - reflecting on @DrTedros opening remarks, @sonia_akrimi reminds us of the science behind #pandemic management.

@WhoseShoes @BWCHBoss @RoyLilley @BeckTaylorBham @FWmaternity @JuliaCumberlege @dunkleybent @NHSEngland @matt_tagney @ratters16 @drtraceyc @Mel_Pickup @AnnRemmers @sarahnoble02 Our challenges were not to do with continuity of carer policy or reluctance to provide same on the part of our mws. CQC not asking right questions - when women experience continuity they ‘get’ it - when mws are offered different way of providing it they thrive - we are the proof

Executive Director of Maternal Child Health and Women & Girls at Johnson & Johnson, @joymarini says: “When midwives speak, they speak about the women, rather than the role of the midwives themselves, bringing the voices of the community and of the women.”

[Joy Marini @joymarini]

Give her the respect that she deserves. Give her the remuneration that she deserves. This is the stakeholder challenge for midwives and I’m ready to take it! ~@ToyinSaraki directly to the heart of the matter! @world_midwives

[International Confederation of Midwives @world_midwives]

The death of Saifura Hussaini Ahmed Khorsa in Nigeria today brings with it a deep grief for those whose lives were bettered by this vivacious and brilliant young midwife, and those who can relate. Read the reflections from ICM President @FrankaCadee: https://t.co/L8jDGNGqAy
