Today we celebrate international day of the Midwife. 'Midwives critical in every crisis' which highlights the indispensable role midwives play in humanitarian and emergency settings around the world. Happy international day of the midwife, proudly enjoy your day 🙂

Word of the Day, should you need it, is ‘crapulence’ (18th century): sickness or indisposition resulting from an excess of drinking or eating.

Word of the day is ‘cancelphoria’: the joy of discovering that an arrangement you were dreading has been called off, leaving you with the satisfaction of not having cancelled first, and the bliss of staying at home. Created by @RobbieRinder for @BBCRadio4’s ‘Unspeakable’,

Lest we forget!

@NHSResolution maternity conference and listening to the stark reality of how we need more obstetricians and midwives from Jo Mountfield @RCObsGyn and how we need to retain them #SaferBirthsNHS22
