On International Day of the Midwife we celebrate the critical role of midwives in providing expert, compassionate care for mothers, babies and families in every situation, everywhere, every minute of every day 👏👏👏

Midwives are essential to health system resilience.

By achieving universal coverage of midwife-delivered care by 2035, we could avert 67% of maternal deaths, 64% of newborn deaths, and 65% of stillbirths—saving 4.3 million lives every year. #IDM2025

The 10 Year Health Plan: Our Recommendations | The King's Fund In this long read, we set out the key recommendations The King’s Fund is making to government to support the development of the 10-year plan and realise these shifts.

The King’s Fund supports the need for transformational shifts in how health and care services are planned, delivered and accessed. Read our long read: The 10 Year Health Plan: our recommendations. www.kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-analysis/lon...

The midwife crisis demands action — before it is too late The emotional and physical toll on midwives such as myself is unsustainable. When will the government wake up?

Sharing some ‘greatest hits’ from the archives for my new followers (hi!). A classic maternity rant from me for @newstatesman.com here - different government now, but the same issues persist.
