Amazing opportunity to come and work for one of the largest maternity services in the UK. I have been given many amazing opportunities during my time here. Be the lead for maternity safety within the trust and support the Director and Head of Midwifery. beta.jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/j…

Some of the team looking a bit hot & bothered after the #TeamNightingale parent education class yesterday evening - a great way for women and birthing partners to get to know other midwives in the team ahead of labour and birth 😊 #whoisoncall#knowyourmidwife#continuityofcarer
Well done team! I'm regularly receiving positive feedback from the women and families you serve.... to quote a recent comment, from a service users mother.... "she isn't just out midwife. She's part of our family". ❤️
Celebrating our 3rd birthday with two babies being born across two different sites and both supported by the #TeamNightingale on call midwife (Needed a siren & flashing lights today 🚨) Congratulations to both families & well done midwife Lucy 🌟 Pictures shared with permission
Happy 3rd birthday #TeamNightingale 🥳 Proud is an understatement & feel a little emosh today. CoC does improve maternal & neonatal outcomes, does improve maternal satisfaction & experience, does increase midwife satisfaction. It's been a journey & onwards we travel #DannisDiary
3 yrs ago today - 3 days to go until live launch of #TeamNightingale. We worked so hard to prepare for what was to come although the months that followed were a steep learning curve. So proud we are approaching our 3rd bday and to have an established #continuityofcarer service 😊
3 years ago - 4 days to go until the launch of UHBs 1st #continuityofcarer team
Excitement and nerves were very real at this point but we were having a great time preparing for launch of this new model of care and building team relations #DannisDiary#TeamNightingale@maggi_ann
