Why should we be wary of evidence-based practice? Read Adam Ferner's latest blog: Evidence-based Practice: Approach with caution?

It's not consent, when women are terrified to say no.
It's not justice, when women are afraid to report.
It's not free speech, when women are silenced.
It's not human rights, when women are unprotected.
It's not rocket science, why women have had enough.

Throughout 2024, the Guardian aims to report on every woman allegedly killed by a man, drawing on the work of @CountDeadWomen and @femicideCensus and Killed Women.
Here they mark the lives of the first 50 women recorded as killed by men this year. theguardian.com/uk-news/ng-i….

This working paper on mental health impacts of a prenatal & infancy home visiting program for disadvantaged families shows significantly reduced mental health conditions for mothers & children.
More proof of the importance of @iHealthVisiting?

Here in the UK we have had 9 infants die of pertussis (whooping cough) in the last 9 months
Nine dead babies—now that is shocking and avoidable: there is an effective vaccine
#VaccinesWork
#vaccines
ALT New data published today by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) shows cases of whooping cough continue to increase with 2,591 cases confirmed in May. This follows 555 cases in January 2024, 920 in February, 1,427 in March and 2,106 in April - bringing the total number of cases from January to May 2024 to 7,599. Sadly, there have been 9 infant deaths since the current outbreak began in November last year (one in December 2023 and 8 between January to end May 2024). Young babies are at highest risk of severe complications and death from whooping cough. Evidence from England shows that vaccination at the right time in pregnancy is highly effective, giving 92% protection against infant death.
