During a difficult shift, Employed every one of your ABC impacted head steps you taught at the college pilot, they have been invaluable and I’ve passed them on so much Katie Cornthwaite thank you!

Really looking forward to attending BICS, catching up with colleagues, and presenting our findings on severe infant brain injuries associated with impacted fetal head at CS

Really chuffed to share I successfully defended my PhD (with minor corrections) & have been nominated for a doctoral dissertation prize. Thanks so much to my friends, family, colleagues PROMPT Maternity and my wonderful supervisors, Tim Draycott, Rachna Bahl, and Erik Lenguerrand

Clinical decision making in labour should not focus entirely on CTG appearances, but should be integrated with clinical risk factors, notably growth restriction, the presence of meconium and tachsystole. obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Now a look into NHS Resolution supported initiatives with Dr Katie Cornthwaite, Clinical fellow at RoyalCollegeObsGyn and Pauline Hewitt, Impacted Fetal Head Project Midwife at Royal College of Midwives 💙, Lead Midwife for Delivery Suite at Gloucestershire Royal Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Calling all #obstetricians could you spare two hours on Friday for this virtual stakeholder event please? It's a really important project to support women and birthing people aiming for a spontaneous labour and birth. Please RT widely!!! Thanks in advance

We have just published our Scientific Impact Paper (SIP) on impacted fetal head at caesarean birth. This SIP looks at the evidence around predicting, preventing and managing impacted fetal head at caesarean birth. fal.cn/3z1Kk

Very proud to have written this SIP with such a fantastic team of experts Alison Wright 💙 Kate Walker Prof Annette Briley John Kingdom, Graham Tydeman, Tim Draycott, Rachna Bahl and Cathy Winter. Hopefully it will support maternity staff managing this high risk emergency

Fabulous really important paper. Think all obs should practice reverse breech regularly, important for transverse presentations; and I would love to see someone use Patwardan. 27 years and not seen this method so reluctant to try.

Rebecca We will have trained 90% of our The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust 🏥 midwives in vaginal disimpaction & 100% of our registrars in abdominal disimpaction and reverse breech extraction by Dec! PROMPT Maternity. This training has been the highest rated in our PROMPT course 2023 highlighting the need for it 💜
