breastfeeding has fallen in Govt priorities, mothers have been abandoned, left to struggle on their own. The lucky ones find a tribe of support, & go on to meet their 🤱🏾goals. There is an out pouring of anger on it way as the truth is told @healthgovau

🤔🫣🙄

Totally agree @wallyjt62 and how lovely to see

Happy Scottish Breastfeeding Week! This week we'll be sharing information on your rights, as well as how to access local and national support 💙 We'll also be sharing what our Scottish services are getting up to this week! #SBW2024 #SupportingBreastfeedingInScotland

After delivering her daughter at 32 weeks & spending time on our Neonatal unit, Kate wanted to raise money to help other parents going through similar situations. Kate ran the Manchester 10km after 16 weeks of giving birth & raised over £1000 for our @WWLNeonatal🥰 Thank you💜

Speaking up is important but I'm increasingly thinking that the focus needs to be on teaching our leaders and managers to listen up, take action and give feedback. Without this those who speak up will quickly stop bothering.

Psychological safety: how to get members of our teams to actually speak up. It's a common leadership misconception that just by encouraging team members to voice opinions we create a culture of openness. We need to address the issues (individual & systemic) that prevent people from speaking up. Five actions: 1) Express intent (but only ask for the level of candour you’re ready & able to receive) 2) Use standard questions like "what are the pros & cons of this idea?" ("What do you think?” can feel like a trap) 3) Discuss communication preferences & use the mediums that play to their preferences rather than yours 4) Lend social capital to people who are in the minority in your organisation (& less likely to speak up) - disrupt biases by giving them the floor 5) Attribute credit fairly to the people who did the work hbr.org/2024/06/how-to-get-y….

A really helpful series that aims to show the impact of every interaction we have with babies and families on our neonatal units. Join the NW team to start thinking about what you could change in your practice.

Many of our volunteers start off as students on placement with their university, learning more and more about how to support women, leading to them becoming volunteers with us. Oonagh has stayed with us since she finished her placement. #ThankYou #Volunteering #Volunteers

Please look at whether you can spare a few pounds to help the women of Manchester who need the support of MASH 🙏🏻

It was great to share the work we’ve done on best practice standards in neonatal surgery. Collectively we can inform standards, support ongoing education and ensure the best, evidenced based care for our babies and families. #gastroschisis @NeonatalSurgery @NNAUK1

Nanette is an amazing outreach volunteer on the van. She is reliable, dedicated and above all else has a heart of gold. Volunteer Coordinator, Solomon, said: "She is non-judgemental, approachable and her experience makes her great at speaking to the women." #ThankYou #Volunteers

Chloe is an incredible person who has worked hard to make big changes in her life. Therapy is not an easy process but she committed to it and still talks about how it was one of the most transformational things in her life.  #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek
