'When midwives talk about leaving, we don’t say that as some political bargaining tool. The average salary for a midwife is £37,179 per year; I’m not in this job for money. But, equally, I’m not a volunteer. I’m here as a professional' @AnnaLouiseKent

Our members are angry and feel let down by the Government. We have repeatedly warned of a “gaping hole” in midwife staffing levels with a shortage of well over 2,000 staff, this pay award means more may leave

In the meantime, though, here's the link to our recent paper on COVID vaccination and changes to the menstrual cycle, for those who are interested! 3/

[Viki Male @VikiLovesFACS]

Effects of COVID infection on the cycle are way harder to study than vaccination, because infection is not a single, scheduled event in the way that vaccination is. So the evidence here is weaker. But I would love to see more work in this area. 2/

[Viki Male @VikiLovesFACS]

Lots of ppl getting in touch today to say they noticed a change to their period after a COVID *infection* (not vaccination). There are two studies that point to a potential link between COVID infection and menstrual changes... 1/

Word of the day is 'filipendulous' (19th century): hanging by a thread.

@OutbreakJake Snap. Sometimes I wish in retrospect I had caught it when the variant had mild symptoms. Stay well.

[Pam Wild @pamoneuk]

@ThisisDavina @Stranger_Things I’ve not watched it. I’m not too sure about scary stories. A song from my youth can’t persuade me. 🤣

‘It is deeply worrying that not only is England’s NHS midwifery workforce shrinking, but that the slump is gathering pace,’ writes Public Affairs Advisor Stuart Bonar in latest blog on the drop in midwife numbers. More here: https://t.co/mux49PIPYW
