Concerned by report from Rebecca Thomas in this week’s Health Check newsletter that @StGeorgesTrust have been routinely downgrading 3rd & 4th degree tears from ‘moderate harm’ to ‘lo or no harm’. We know that these are life-changing injuries for women Theo Clarke

From Judy Shakespeare Action on Postpartum Psychosis #PreventingMaternalSuicide in the #perinatal period 💡if you even think of psychosis as the diagnosis don’t wait till tomorrow ☎️pick up the phone & call for help ➡️ the decision is 999/A&E or Perinatal Team (4 hour emergency response)

Some GP take homes Action on Postpartum Psychosis #PreventingMaternalSuicide approx 50% PPP happens ‘out of the blue’ ➡️usual MH risk factors may not apply, having a baby is NOT protective, common early symptoms = elation/lots of energy/not sleeping DON’T overlook disclosed concerns of woman/family

Thank you to everyone who joined today to watch the Action on Postpartum Psychosis webinar 💜 Incredible, knowledgeable and passionate speakers 💜 #PreventingMaternalSuicide #PostpartumPsychosis
