Happy International Midwife Day!
Our Chief Nurse @NicolaFirth6 has a message of gratitude for all of our marvellous midwives
Thank you for providing reassurance and care for mothers and babies today and every day๐
Remember Gary Speed!
4,639 men took their own life in the UK in 2022.
74% of all suicides in the UK involve men.
The rate of suicide in men (15.4 per 100,000) is over three times higher than in women (4.9 per 100,000)
Thought to share.

There are so many brave ex-footballers who will find today beyond difficult; many who still have questions that can now never be answered. Each and every one of those Iโve met were incredible human beings, stronger than I could ever be. Tonight Iโm thinking of them.
We should also thank the journalists @DDaviesAJ @DTathletic for being brave enough and telling their storyโฆ..your were their voice when it mattered and although we canโt changed the past bringing such awareness hopefully will change the future to let this never happen again.
Barry Bennell has died in prison and, of course, people will celebrate his death.
Today, though, it's much better to think about the many brave ex-footballers who put him behind bars.

Thank you for all comments about this one (no paywall). Spoken to quite a few of the players and, as always, they're just getting on with everything the best they can. Will always be in awe of what they have done.
