Well done @DrNShenker you have a wonderful team, and make such a huge difference to many lives.
Messages like this make me just so proud of the team that has built up at @heartsmilkbank. Working under great pressure, they try as hard as possible to look after everyone, donor, recipient, and each other. Just wanted to share that 🤗

Happy IDM to all my colleagues near and far. Proud to be a midwife... 24 years since I started my midwifery training in Leeds and still love being there, listening and holding space for mothers, babies and their families.
On International Day of the Midwife we want to say a huge thank you to our maternity team for providing care to more than 5,000 mums and babies a year and have gone above and beyond to make services as safe as possible during Covid-19 #InternationalDayoftheMidwife

STOP 👏 DOING 👏 WIDE 👏 I&D 👏 IN LACTATING BREASTS. It’s time to prioritize breastfeeding medicine. Treat breast abscesses early w/ needle aspiration For those needing I&D, make a small incision & place a penrose. #breastfeeding #breastmilk #breastfeed #asbrs21 #asbrs2021

As @1stepsnutrition gets ready to say goodbye to Dr Helen Crawley at end of month, we need to acknowledge the huge contribution she’s made to infant & young child feeding under its umbrella. 1st Steps provides resources that simply do not exist elsewhere & are vitally needed [1]
