Millions of people around the UK are experiencing stress at what can feel like uncontrollable levels. Remember, it's okay to reach out - whether that's to your employer, a friend, family member or professional support.

@RachelC99731904 Currently in the process of the transitioning, community went live with electronic notes in Oct ‘23 and hospital live Feb ‘24, it’s been challenging at times for staff feeling ‘with computer’ but can definitely see the glimmers of being more ‘with woman’ coming through now :)

[Lauren 💙 @lck1993]

2/2… but I’m so, so glad of such a fab network of passionate people around me to give me opportunities and challenges and open my eyes to the other sides of midwifery, relighting my passions when my body has tried to stop them 🔥💛 #IDM2024 #midwife #midwifery #passion

[Lauren 💙 @lck1993]

Happy International Day of the Midwife to all my colleagues, friends and fellow midwives 💛 This year has been one of my most challenging years yet as a midwife and having to learn to accept clinical midwifery isn’t forever for me will always be difficult… 1/2
