We're inviting Jewish women living in Greater Manchester who have experienced a stillbirth or neonatal death to take part in the Still Life project. Through simple creative activities you will explore your experiences in a safe space & hear about stillbirth prevention research

Great opportunity to research on a much needed topic in #maternity care! #research #job #London

[Alexander Heazell @MCR_SB_Research]

We're looking for an experienced qualitative researcher to join an exciting study about parental involvement in disclosure of harm in maternity care. https://t.co/3cZl1fXFlk led by @SandallJane with @MCR_SB_Research

[Maternityissues @maternityissues]

@MCR_SB_Research @SandallJane Really interested in this study! Please keep us posted. 🤩

[Maternityissues @maternityissues]

@MFT_PatientExp Love it. Please share close ups of the posters/relevant info 😊

[Maternityissues @maternityissues]

@MFT_PatientExp This is great. I'm pleased there's lots of positive feedback and I hope patients' feedback can also drive improvements where needed. Interested to know who's in the team - do you have monitoring and evaluation specialists?

[Maternityissues @maternityissues]

Opportunity to give feedback to #NHS #Manchester

[Patient Experience @MFT_PatientExp]

Meet Samantha, a One to One Midwife:

"I love being a midwife. I never imagined working shifts in a hospital and 'handing over' care at the end of a shift. I wanted to be a midwife that built up a relationship with women and got to know them and their family."

Fantastic to see progress in miscarriage research. Again points out the need to support women better through what can be a very distressing time. @Tommys_baby

[SNUG in Devon @SNUGNeonatal]

Love this and completely agree! And it is the ‘along side’ that really counts and when a parent is sad/emotional/angry, whether on day 4 or 104, for that to be ‘okay’ is the greatest way nurses can protect our dignity. #NICUMHAW @LeosNeonatal

[vCreate NICU Diaries💙 @vCreateNICU]

"No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." Seems fitting to share this on the final day of @NICUMHAW. Well done @LeosNeonatal and to everyone who took part, helping to improve support for families and colleagues 💕 #MentalHealthMatters #NICUMHAW #JustTheBeginning

[Royal Surrey Maternity Unit @RSCH_Maternity]

Every baby deserves to have prolonged skin to skin with their mummy.

All babies whether breast or bottle fed should have their first feed in skin contact with mum in an unhurried, uninterrupted environment

Midwives and doctors at The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust are the first in the region (South Yorkshire) to be offering a new method of labour induction for pregnant women.

Great stuff going on during @NICUMHAW but important to remember not all #NICU babies are premature!

Hurray! Great example of #FIcare

[Healthwatch Lambeth @HWLambeth]

Research by the @CareQualityComm shows lots of people have concerns about their care but never raise them. Over 50% said they regretted not doing so. When people did raise a concern, many found their issue was resolved quickly. #DeclareYourCare https://t.co/qbzbqMFr1W
