An insightful opportunity to be taught by the experts! @optibreech thanks for your invaluable knowledge! Loved learning about all things breech.. Even if I was asking @KerrieWykes for help with the midwifery lingo! Thanks @EastEnglandAmb for the CPD as always and @damow67!

Those who have completed @OptiBreech training know what a difference optimal cord management and intact transition is making in our cohort. ⬇️study is about preterm birth but is looking for views to inform an important trial.
Replying to @JonDorling18
@JonDorling18 & I would 💜to hear health professionals' views on a clinical trial comparing timing of cord clamping in very preterm infants who need resuscitation at birth. Can you spare a few mins to complete a short survey? forms.office.com/e/q73Xb9Ej9… 1/3

When breech births go wrong, the focus needs to be on what the evidence says will truly improve safety outcomes, not sensationalised 'us versus them' thinking. Please share with colleagues and networks. breechbirth.org.uk/2024/04/1… @optibreech

Thank you for this important work @MissCBeebies ! So glad you have brought @ConcordNeonatal to the UK. Our @optibreech collaborative also sees the benefits for vaginally-born breech babies of all gestations in our data! Should be a part of routine management.
