@virginmedia please can someone contact me urgently about a long term outstanding credit amount that we’re owed. This has been going on for months and we just can’t get our money back - despite ALOT of chasing 😡

Absolutely loved my time on PICU, fantastic career progression and education support. Come see what the team have to offer. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

If you are in the NICU or remember being there... #neoTwitter

Did you receive support from psychological professionals, such as clinical psychologists, counsellors or health and wellbeing practitioners, whilst your baby was in care? If yes, and you would like to discuss your experience in a focus group, please get in touch.

We’re really looking forward to seeing you at this webinar⬇️- it won’t be a series of answers or ‘quick fixes’ for wellbeing, rather an exploration of what underlies something meaningful for ourselves and those we work with. Do join us 😊@REButterworth

Every tiny heartbeat matters & it takes a team with family at the core to nurture the tiniest souls into strength. Let's celebrate the dedication of neonatal caregivers worldwide, illuminating the path to a brighter, healthier future, one precious life at a time! #neoTwitter

Young children and teenagers can be affected by baby loss too 💙🧡 We have workbooks and support books available for young people in different languages including Polish, Welsh, Chinese and Arabic. ➡️ sands.org.uk/siblings #SandsHereToSupport #BabyLoss #PregnancyLoss

Are you a parent or carer looking after a bereaved child or young person? We offer 1-hr sessions on the last Monday of every month to provide information to help you support a child or young person when someone important to them has died. For info, visit: ow.ly/fuO750PGPaW

Today, @NHSEngland announced 10 days paid leave for employees who have experienced a #Miscarriage We welcome this news & hope that more employers will follow their lead providing paid leave and support for their employees. Read our response ➡️ sands.org.uk/NHS-miscarriag… #BabyLoss

This weekend we are thinking of you: 🌸💕 #MothersDay sueryder.org/grief-support/…

Premature twins are treated together in the same incubator and it is the most beautiful thing you will see today.

🎄We’d like to wish all of our neonatal network staff and parents a lovely Christmas and a happy New Year. 🎄🎅

DPD courier at my door, speaking under his breath like a spy: “The parcel’s in the van. It says ‘drum-kit’ on the box. I wanted to warn you and not ruin Christmas.” Then he carried it round to my garage to hide it. Hero. HERO.

We've funded communication cards in multiple languages that will allow parents to communicate with staff without having to wait for an interpreter. Parents can directly ask for things such as skin-to-skin and to speak with a doctor ✨

It can be scary being on the neonatal unit. Can you imagine being on the neonatal unit, but being unable to communicate with the staff due to a language barrier?

Black and Asian bereaved parents whose baby died before, during or shortly after birth have been sharing their experiences with us. The 56 parents who took part shone a light on care that works well, while also highlighting barriers, biases, and poor care. For some families, not being listened to or having their concerns taken seriously led to important warning signs going unnoticed, investigations not being carried out and opportunities to save babies’ lives being missed. Read the experiences of Black and Asian bereaved parents as well as what needs to change and our recommendations to make pregnancy safer for everyone ⬇️ sands.org.uk/listening-proj… We’re sharing the voices of Black and Asian bereaved parents to ensure they’re heard alongside today’s publication of the @mbrrace confidential enquiry findings. #SavingBabiesLives #SaferMaternity
