Enjoying Midwifery Hour - live! Fab Angelina Ankomah is speaking. I met her last year at my annual #WhoseShoes session with the #Darzi Fellows. We then worked together bringing the Whose Shoes experience to the 4 trusts across SW London. #MatExp @fwmaternity.bsky.social @annageyer-np.bsky.social

My #podcast 2024 summary is here! it’s gratifying to see I am still reaching a wide international audience of expectant parents & professionals. I get lovely messages from pregnant women about the impact even 1 episode can have on their decisions & their conversations with maternity professionals

What’s the word for when you’re conditioned to have such low expectations that your employer will do anything nice for you, that you’d be grateful for an unbroken chair to sit on? 🤨

👇 racism kills in healthcare. E.g the MBRACE report 2019-2021: there was nearly 4 fold difference in maternal mortality rates amongst women from Black ethnic backgrounds & ~2 fold difference amongst women from Asian ethnic backgrounds compared to white women. These differences have persisted

It would be so great if you could RT my Etsy shop in the twoots below/above. My🌲 jewellery orders usually make up a significant part of my income at this time of yr but the X exodus has meant I’ve only received 1 order-pretty scary income-wise. A small boost would help so much. Thankyou🌿
