New The Sir Michael Marmot Institute of Health Equity analysis confirms since 2010 central government spending cuts to local authorities were highest in areas with lower life expectancy and more health inequalities, further harming health in these places @MichaeMarmot @UCL bit.ly/LEGAP

Supporting our Midwifery colleagues to support women and families through their maternity journey is key to safe maternity care. A huge thanks to all our midwives on #IDM2024.

A midwife is the person who can hold your hand when you need courage, hold space when you need time, and hold you up when you need to make decisions about you and your baby in all circumstances. Thier skill and knowledge is so important. Thank u #Midwives #IDM2024

Have to ask those who know.. is prescribing patients on long-term meds only 1 month at a time a waste of your time as a dr/prescribing clinician? They don't review his condition monthly. And someone must have to sign off the mess every month. Why??

Reading about the intended legislation from our new government and wondering how anyone sets an ambition to half violence against women. Does that mean that the other half is tolerable? Or that it's not considered achievable?

Our statutory #maternity pay (SNP) is far from 'excessive' - it is among the lowest in the OECD. Even with SNP most families need two incomes to survive and many are racking up debt, or having to return to work early. #maternity #Badenoch
