Pleased to have the opportunity to share a snap shot of @1stepsnutrition decade long advocacy on infant #formula prices at #NFNC2024 ahead of the @CMAgovUK reporting any day now. High prices & exploitative marketing drive infant food insecurity in UK. 🔑 Solutions: stronger enforced marketing controls, price caps, plain labels in NHS, #HealthyStart improvements AND more support for #breastfeeding. @KatiePNutrition@SibsonVicky
Very interesting to note how gendered representation at conferences on maternal and child nutrition. Is this why it’s such a neglected area - because it’s seen as women’s work both to provide and research? #NFNC2024
Well done @NHSSomerset, winners of our overall Silver Award for their 'Safer Prescribing in Pregnancy Q.I. Project'. We aim to schedule a full webinar for them to showcase their important project in the coming months. Congratulations!

If this wasn’t a real conversation between a PM and his scientific and political advisers about a lethal pandemic, it would be funny. Sadly it is real and thoroughly depressing. Is the teaching of maths at Eton so poor? Johnson: “What is the mortality rate of Covid?” @Telegraph
Pharmacists, we need to do better for breastfeeding people. So many resources out there now - @ukdilas@NHS_SPS@BfN_UK (not to be confused with BNF) also Lactmed, Hale, etc. Any questions, please get in touch with us @amandajdacosta@pharmor10
Wouldn’t usually put something like this on Twitter but I am genuinely quite gobsmacked the hassle surrounding this issue and community pharmacists being very hesitant to prescribe medicines that are safe as per BNF and in guidelines - please revise if you see this!
I know that I'm not the only mum who's had to stop breastfeeding for chemo and then been put on domperidone (which promotes milk production). This is not good enough, can we please do more to consider breastfeeding mums in medicine @MummysStar
