Thank you to all of our members who worked to get the Ness bridge lit up in Inverness for IDM!

3.3% is not enough. Sign the NHS Unions open letter now. Midwives deserve to be paid fairly for all that they do. Please sign the letter and share to everyone in your networks, NHS staff or not - we all want the NHS to succeed. buff.ly/kXjqO1s

Today we launched our Safe staffing manifesto and campaign. Jaki Lambert said: "Without safe staffing, our midwives are being stretched beyond breaking point and we’re denying women and babies the comprehensive care they desperately need and deserve.' We'll be sharing more soon.

Later today, we will be launching our manifesto ‘Safe Staffing = Safe Care’ calling for seven key priorities to secure safe maternity care. This manifesto calls upon Scottish Government to take urgent action. We'll be sharing more information throughout the day.

A real pleasure to be at the @ScotlandRCM conference earlier to speak to midwifery leaders and staff from across Scotland, take questions and hand out richly deserved awards. Congratulations to all winners and finalists. Thank you for all you do
