Staff at North Devon district hospital given training in difficult births in case mothers-to-be cannot get to Exeter Doctors at one of England’s remotest hospitals have been given a “crash course” in birth emergencies after its maternity unit was shut and as fears grow that the safety of women and babies may be put at risk. From Tuesday, the maternity service at North Devon district hospital (NDDH) in Barnstaple has been suspended indefinitely owing to staff shortages, leaving many pregnant women facing a journey of at least an hour and a half when they go into labour.

It was lovely to be able to join with my periprem colleagues to celebrate 6 years since the start of the project. A great day celebrating the positive changes being made to the lives of preterm babies and their families. #periprem #preterm #neonatal

A visit to Scotland after 9 years. A Santana concert, after an awfully lot more than 9 years. Perfect end to a fabulous trip. 😊

World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...

This "debate" about who should use what toilet doesn’t benefit anyone. It doesn’t fix the underfunding of women's refuges, NHS waiting lists leaving women in terrible pain, mums skipping meals to feed their kids. How about we get on with tackling the real issues affecting women?

More to say on burnout and I'm probably going to boost it a few times because folks need to hear it: Burnout is a form of brain damage. It happens when stress conditions persist until they damage our brains. It's an injury that needs to heal, not a weakness that needs to be pushed through.

Regardless of the mechanisms, stress is harmful to our mental and physical health. Decreasing stress in these times is incredibly challenging and I wish I had the answers for you all on how to do that. Maybe ask @drjessigold.bsky.social ? In the meantime, here’s a hug! 13/fin

This is an ##ElonMusk quote, and I think it's rather fitting for the move from #X to #bluesky "Some people don't like change, but you need to embrace change if the alternative is disaster." Let's get following and build a new community supporting one another, the #NHS #Europe & tackling #poverty
