U.K.A.M.B

Next week (October 9th) marks the start of Baby Loss Awareness week. #BLAW This means that your social media and mainstream media may become filled with posts about baby loss, as families, charities and organisations work together to raise awareness and share their experiences.

Last week our wonderful @carolgbarnes and the incredible @sara_clarke8 presented a workshop on donor milk together at the N3 meeting! Looking forward to seeing this develop further for @UKAMB1 study day! #collaboration #donormilk

@BDA_NDiG @CHFTNHS @uhbtrust @MilkBankChester @StGeorgesTrust @LynetteForsyth1 Yes please @LynetteForsyth1 that would be incredible! Please can you DM us your email address! Thank you 💜

@MairBosworth @heartsmilkbank @BBCRadio4 @milk_foundation Thank you ❤️ it’s a wonderful network working towards a shared goal and so important for people to have access to learn more. (Just thought we would share the link so people know where their nearest is!) Thank you to the families for sharing their story today. Inspiring! ❤️

@UKAMB1 @heartsmilkbank @BBCRadio4 @milk_foundation we mention there are 14 other milk banks in the programme! : )

Today's ep of The Untold on @BBCRadio4 begins in one place + goes somewhere else entirely. Thank you to the team at @heartsmilkbank & @milk_foundation for so patiently explaining their fascinating work + to the two families who trusted me with their story bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

@heartsmilkbank @MairBosworth @BBCRadio4 @milk_foundation Don’t forget the rest of the UK network of the 14 other milk banks funded by the NHS as we all work to ensure that the babies who need donor milk have access to it ❤️ UKAMB.org/find-a-Milk-ba… Thank you for raising awareness of donor milk

@MairBosworth @BBCRadio4 @milk_foundation That was beautiful Mair, thank you. There were a few tears of gratitude this morning with the reaction, and knowing that we can support fewer families this year as charitable donations decrease. But we shall persevere, there is so much hope from this work.

Getting ready to head to @scotgovCYPIC with @karenmackay8 to talk about our whole systems improvement approach supporting breastfeeding in Scotland. Shout out to the rest of our BFLT, @KazzaCarolyn ,@SGChildMaternal but especially @LeeUrquhart3 our wingman

Don’t forget @MilkBankScot

@HelenGrayIBCLC @milk_foundation @UKAMB1 @LondonFire @stjohnambulance @LucyGoBag @Prof_AmyBrown @BFLG @c_patton_ @GlobalHealthNut @wbtiuk @BflgUk

@Prof_AmyBrown @milk_foundation It would be good to know what the Welsh response was

We recently collected data in Wales exploring experiences of being able to donate breast milk or not. We'd like to open this to anyone in the UK who has ever donated milk (or wanted to but was unable to) Could you spare 15 minutes? Thank you! Survey link: bit.ly/3NA7JT0

Lets not compare formula with #donorhumanmilk let’s work to ensure #milkdonation is ethical and safe

Fantastic to be meeting with @UKAMB1 trustees to develop our strategy moving forward. Lots of great ideas and enthusiasm #milkbank #humanmilk #trustee #milkdonation

Great to be back face to face with the UKAMB team, planning for the future of UK milk banks, collaboratively working to bring together milk donors, recipient families, health care providers and supporters of the extensive milk bank networks #everydropcounts #ukmilkbanks

@NeoResearch_Net Lets go all the way and get rid of GPS

What?!?
