Delighted to share that I have been selected to undertake a post doctoral fellowship with support from @WellbeingofWmen , @MidwivesRCM & @BurdettTrust.
My research will be exploring how midwives and interpreters can work together more effectively when discussing MH with women.

We just witnessed Crenshaw’s intersectionality theory play out in real time to a global audience.
As a midwife and a feminist I am so disappointed.
I’ll start updating my ‘human rights in global reproductive health’ session. This could take a while…

Janet Fyle, from the Royal College of Midwives encourages mothers to speak up & be open with their midwives during pregnancy, labour and postpartum.
In this video, Janet reminds us that there is no shame in speaking to your midwife about your mental health and getting the support you need.

The degree apprenticeship offers huge opportunities for the future of #midwifery services for the workforce. BUT there are significant barriers to rolling it out as widely as we’d like/as the #NHSLTWFP calls for: there is a strong call for funding to backfill MSW posts #RMDA23

On this day, People of #AfricanDescent, let's recognize the need for equity in healthcare.
Health systems can be a leading force for tackling the inequities faced by populations experiencing racial discrimination.
