Today we are launching the Black Maternity Experience survey. We want to hear from Black women and birthing people to bridge the gap of the missing data on morbidity and the near misses. #Blackmesurvey bit.ly/blackmaternity…

Black women are @fivexmore likely to die in childbirth. In my #InternationalWomensDay debate speech last week, I said we really need to talk about Black maternal health. This week, I found out Parliament will be debating this next month - a step in the right direction.

@dirtycash @KingsMaternity We understand why you would be worried but women who have COVID are separated. Midwives wear PPE which helps to stop the spread.

@KingsMvp @KingsMaternity I’m incredibly worried to hear that none of the maternity staff are being regular tested for Covid due to the cost involved. There are also Covid patients on the same wards as non-Covid patients? My wife is clinical vulnerable and there are no measures in place for this.

A message from Tracey MacCormack, Head of Midwifery at King's College Denmark Hill. @KingsMaternity

NHS maternity units remain open during the coronavirus pandemic and are providing essential antenatal care. Changes have been made to how, when and where you attend midwife and consultant appointments, to ensure the safest care is delivered without overloading our NHS services.

We are delighted to be collaborating with @RCObsGyn to eradicate maternal health disparities in the UK. Watch this short animation outlining five actions for healthcare professionals to adopt to help drive change. Read the steps in full here: rcog.org.uk/en/news/campai…

Denmark Hill: We are running a standalone, interactive, virtual workshop for women who have previously had a caesarean section birth on 7/10/2020. Please book on Eventbrite, search 'Kings Antenatal' under Online Events

We wanted to round off the #fivexmoreaw20 awareness week with a series of asks and a list of what we want to see change. These statistics have been rising for decades and it’s completely unacceptable (THREAD)

@wildsnap @KingsMaternity @KingsCollegeNHS Hopefully @KingsMaternity can respond to you directly regarding situation at the PRUH.

@KingsMvp @KingsMaternity @KingsCollegeNHS Is this now the same for the Princess Royal University Hospital? And does that mean if we are labouring naturally our birth partner can come in to the assessment? #pruh #butnotmaternity

King’s Maternity Team has just released the following update to its guidance on partners attending scans and labour. 1 partner can now attend antenatal scans from tomorrow Sep 23 and visiting hours have been extended. @KingsCollegeNHS @KingsMaternity kch.nhs.uk/news/public/ne…

@KingsMvp @KingsMaternity @KingsCollegeNHS Thank you sooooo much!! I have my scan tomorrow so this has made our day!

@Kristiane25 @KingsMaternity @KingsCollegeNHS We have just received an update - please follow this link to read full details: kch.nhs.uk/news/public/ne…

@KingsMvp @KingsMaternity @KingsCollegeNHS @KingsMvp Are you able to provide an update on this please? Lots of people tweeting Kings Maternity and College NHS directly and no one is being responded to. The same wording is still appearing on the website and everyone was expecting it last week based on last Monday’s update.

Thank you to everyone who attended this evening’s King’s MVP online Zoom meeting! We covered partner access at scans (it’s happening soon!), extended visitor hours and how to raise awareness of Chagas’ disease. @KingsMaternity @KingsCollegeNHS

Today we are focusing on our Birthing Partners. Please share this with your networks and tag any partners that could benefit from this. You might just be saving a life. The steps are also on our website fivexmore.com under RESOURCES.#fivexmoreaw20 #fivexmorepartnersday

We have teamed up with some prominent Black fathers to co-produce these steps based on their experiences of becoming fathers. ⠀ They had a wealth of knowledge and stories to tell us. We are super grateful for their insight on such an topic. #fivexmoreaw20 #fivexmorepartnersday
