Today's poster comes from a project led by Professor Louise Wallace, looking at employing organisations and Fitness to Practice processes.

Bus replacement services for part of the journey on the way to a work conference make me pull faces unsuitable for this site. Thank goodness for decent coffee from Coffee Station in Hebden Bridge to fortify me!

It was a rude awakening today when a bat flew over my face, in my own bedroom, at 4.30am! Totally worth getting up at that time to make it down for this really important meeting of the National Maternity and Neonatal Collective with the Health Secretary.

It's really powerful listening to David Monteith from Grace in Action, talking about his daughter Grace, and the one memento he has of hers (this is a recording of her heartbeat).

Interesting to hear the legal side of what happens after a traumatic birth, especially that explanation and prevention of future harm are usually the goals. The loss of trust between families and perinatal healthcare workers is such a factor.

Really helpful simple tips from Laura Spence about working with neurodivergent people during birth. A good reminder that reasonable adjustments are a legal RIGHT.

I've managed to score a seat by the illustrator. I LOVE seeing what they produce from conferences and workshops, and have managed to use them at a couple of events I've run. I always wondered how they made their drawings so neat in pen though. I was today years old when I learnt it was white pens.

A mostly blank end of a large piece of paper, with space mapped out in white pen. There are drawings of some people to the left of the paper, in black and green pen, and the end of a purple banner which says #ACTIONSNOTWORDS. The paper is stuck to the wall with green masking tape.

A black bag of green, purple and white paints, paint pens, scissors and other arty-type tools that I don't know the names of. Next to the bag on the left is a roll of green masking tape. On the right is a line of green masking tape placed near the skirting board, with black writing saying 'Please keep clear - wet paint'.

What a line up for the 11th Annual Birth Trauma summit. #ActionsNotWords

I'm loving the talks about being disabled (by perinatal services) during pregnancy, birth, and infant feeding. And it's so nice to be at a perinatal event with a BSL interpreter. Thanks so much for your voices and for being willing to share knowledge @marietidball.bsky.social and Laura Spence.

Today I was giving evidence at the National Maternity and Neonatal Review LGBTQIA+ evidence panel in person in London. There were academics, organisations and people with lived experience of the maternity and neonatal systems, all coming together to improve care for LGBTQIA+ families

In the last 10 days I've had work conferences, seminars or similar things in Manchester, Milton Keynes, Edinburgh, and today London. Some of it has been exciting, some exhausting (especially when I turned up at the wrong 'Edinburgh Central Travelodge' - why would you have 2 with the same name?)

Loving this presentation for personal reasons. As someone who experienced an early menopause, but having so far received zero healthcare relating to it, and having been repeatedly told I'm 'too young' for HRT, I agree that it's a healthcare area with massive need.

Today I'm at SRIP conference, with our 'preview' poster on the top 20 priorities for LGBTQIA+ Perinatal Care. Huge thanks to all those involved, especially James Lind Aliiance for funding the work.

One day in April, I have a meeting in London, followed by an online meeting, followed by catching a train to Yorkshire. Does anyone have any good ideas for places I can do an online meeting in Central London? Decent WiFi, and quiet whilst not annoying other folks by talking are the only criteria.

I've recently been involved in a fantastic project, making a piece of crocheted artwork about LGBTQIA+ perinatal issues. The artist needs photos for the piece. If you would be happy to share your bump or baby family photos, please do send them to Sophie. www.instagram.com/p/DGqTmlHIVl...
