Interesting article by @OpenUniversity academic Professor Erica Borgstrom @EricaBorgstrom on her Open Societal Challenges research into Assisted dying and the fact that the practical and ethical challenges are far from resolved. #OUResearch theconversation.com/assisted…

Maternal and neonatal deaths 'rising for the first time in a decade' - the latest Patient Safety Watch report confirms. Black mothers are still 3x more likely to die during pregnancy or shortly after than white women. Behind this data are real women, lives and families. Just yesterday, I spoke with someone still struggling with the aftermath of losing their baby due to negligence and lack of safety. Fear shouldn't be part of any mother's journey, yet Black women consistently express the most concern about maternity safety. This isn't just about numbers or reports. This is an obvious human rights issue. @WatchPatient @MotherhoodGroup #BlackMaternalHealth #MaternityInequality #TheMotherhoodGroup #PatientSafety
