My client bravely sharing her story. The devastation of losing a child is unspeakable but to know lessons are not being learned/practices improved takes that pain to another level BBC News - Harm at risk of being normalised in maternity care - BBC News

Poor care and preventable harm are at risk of becoming “normalised” across the UK’s #Maternity units, a CQC report has found. Our lawyer, @GuyWForster, who represents families affected by maternity failings outlines why action is needed to improve safety: https://t.co/MkUff8ZGnn
Kilian Jornet completes Alpine Connections, “the most challenging thing I’ve ever done”
After completing stage 16 in the Ecrins massif, we can now confirm that Kilian has connected all 82 of the Alps' 4,000-meter peaks in 19 days using only human-powered means.
The project is a colossal challenge due to the exposure, technical difficulty, and focus it requires.
In a hybrid combination of trail running, mountaineering, climbing, and cycling, Kilian Jornet has brought together everything he is passionate about in this project: the majesty of the mountains, facing the unknown, honoring alpinism and his mentors, physiological research, and the pursuit of physical and mental limits, all shared with friends and the community.
This, for me, one of THE greatest sporting achievements of all time. Chapeaux Kilian Jornet

This is a critically important finding with huge implications for safety:
"Our research raises serious concerns about the consistency of advice being given to women and birthing people, and the use of language encouraging them to stay at home without a clear evidence base."
Or.. “levels of avoidable harm ‘unsustainable’”. Behind these figures there are countless stories of human suffering. GP insurers/MDOs never seem to acknowledge that though. Focus on the cause, rather than bemoaning the consequences
Medicolegal experts branded the figures ‘unsustainable’ and called on the Government to reform the clinical negligence system, so that more money could instead be spent on the NHS. https://t.co/6vENopgvLx

@Geri_E_L_Scott The sad thing is just how many ppl in all walks of life not just politics can progress so far whilst being so unpleasant. I’d like to think it catches up with them eventually
@DavidGauke Wouldn’t expect anything else from @Jeremy_Hunt . Their party might stand a chance of rebuilding with more sensible one nation conservatives rather than moving further to the right to chase the reform vote
