Listen to "COVID-19 Vaccines - The Facts" on #SoundCloud soundcloud.app.goo.gl/pqLr7 There's a lot of anxiety & misinformation out there but knowledge & understanding helps. We want you to make an informed choice you feel confident with. If you've got a worry we don't cover - shout.
Fascinating! I've always wondered why this might be!

Has anyone switched careers - from a career totally unrelated to #healthvisiting - into health visiting? Are you happy to share your career switch journey for a magazine article? If so, please contact Jo at [email protected] #healthvisitor

As a health visitor it is my duty to inform you that the #NHS and #publichealth cannot withstand another 5 years of a conservative government. The future of our children depends on a change of leadership

Boris Johnson has been booed out of Addenbrookes Hospital today by staff and patients. Please RT if you’re not surprised.

The thing I’m least looking forward to this #GeneralElection2019 is repeated promises from @Conservatives to invest in our public services, to a lesser extent than that which they’ve cut them over last 9yrs...& some people believing them. #MentalHealth will be a classic example.

Years of cutbacks under the Tories means vital health services closed. More proof you simply can’t trust the Tories with our NHS.

Thanks for doing this @davidamunday helpful comparison with last year - majority of HVs are employed by NHS- challenges the misguided view that 31.8% fall in HV numbers doesn’t matter.⬇️infant mortality, immunisation uptake/⬆️obesity, MH problems& A&E attendance matters
‘Health visitor workforce plan 'urgently needed'’ @cypnow cypnow.co.uk/cyp/news/200724… > “An urgent workforce plan is needed to tackle dwindling health visitor numbers and consistently high vacancy rates, the @LGAWellbeing @LGAcomms has said.”

"standing up and speaking out" is what the @first1001days movement is all about - capturing the knowledge and passion of those who work with babies and their parents to advocate for change for families and the services that work with them

Replying to @davidamunday
.@Beach_Jane finished by talking about ‘Standing up, Speaking out’. She has been imbedded in the action that @Unite_CPHVA members have been taken in Lincoln defending their jobs and profession. #CPHVA19

Although... maybe stop taking photos!
Excellent points ❤

Is anyone still saying breastfeeding is “best?” Stop it. And is infant feeding a ‘choice’ for so many? (80% in UK don’t breastfeed for as long as they want to). Stop saying it’s easy. #BfNConf19 @Prof_AmyBrown
