@GBSSupport have launched their new campaign #EndGBSinfection on Sky News and they need your help! Will you take two minutes to ask your MP to prioritise group B Strep research? bit.ly/3rQR048

Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this scandal. Kayleigh & Colin Griffiths bravely shared their experience of group B Strep and poor care, kickstarting the investigation into maternity care at Shrewsbury & Telford Hospital NHS Trust ow.ly/z5Uv50I23qw

50 babies a year die from silent killer Strep B infection which is passed on by mother during birth and 70 a year are left with severe disabilities. My call for hospitals to sign up to the screening trial and let’s put an end to this. ⁦@GBSSupport⁩ dailymail.co.uk/health/artic…

Last week I wrote to all trust CEOs asking them to follow the 2017 RCOG guidelines as closely as possible using ECM (enriched culture medium) testing in order to provide the highest standard of care possible for both mother and baby. #Patientsafety thetimes.co.uk/article/group…

Get your free ECM testing kit at GroupBStrepTest.co.uk there is no obligation. If you choose to take the test there is a fee if £35 paid directly to the laboratory.

The only way to tell if you’re carrying group B Strep is to do a simple, safe, swab test. The UK does not routinely test all pregnant women. For more info on private tests, visit gbss.org.uk/test #WhyGuessWhenYouCanTest #GroupBStrep
