@hergehound5 @OFFICIALWMAS Great opportunity and a pleasure to meet & listen with Richard, WMAS paramedics & MERIT teams today. Thank you for inviting Ceci Perez-Fernandez & myself from BWH to speak & to share learning with our tiny SIM prem baby! @nicuBWC @Bobna77 @docmjc @Matt_L_Nash @OFFICIALWMAS

@OFFICIALWMAS It was a privilege to be invited to the @OFFICIALWMAS Maternity Roadshow, to talk with dedicated & hugely professional paramedics, to see first hand their training & CPD specifically to further improve their maternity care across the entire region. They are an exceptional trust!

Ahead of @HelenMorganMP's debate in parliament tomorrow to highlight ongoing issues in maternity care, I reiterate the need for a national inquiry - it is only national measures that can properly protect further families from experiencing avoidable harm and loss.

The RCPCH are putting a trainee research day for 'non-academics' - trainees who want to know more about research alongside clinical training. 21 November 2023 online, 09.30 - 16.15 Sign up at: rcpch.ac.uk/news-events/ev… @PramNetwork @RCPCHtweets @WMPaeds
