There are currently no known cases of mpox clade 1 in the UK and the risk to people in the UK is low.

It’s Black maternal health week! Despite progress, Black women are still four times more likely to die in pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period in the UK (MBRRACE 2023)
Each day has a different theme all under the overarching goal of 'Advancing Black Maternal Health'

Say No To FGM #EndFgm Let’s stop this Bill now. It’s a fundamental human right to protect children from abuse. FGM is child abuse. @BBCAfrica @world_midwives @WHO @UNWomenUK
“This is about women and the control of women’s bodies.”
Despite outcry from activists and survivors, #TheGambia’s parliament advanced a bill to decriminalise female genital mutilation. If the bill is passed, the country could become the first to reverse a ban on FGM.
On No Smoking Day 🎉 Our tobacco dependence midwife had discussions with the MDT about CO monitoring, Swap to Stop and VBA, with refreshments for maternity staff. We @huhmaternity are supporting our staff, women and families along this journey towards a smoke free generation 🙌🏾
Someone once told me, one of the qualities of a good leader is listening 🙌🏾
#IDM2022 The year of the Pinard stethoscope ✨ This year has reminded me of the importance of ACTIVELY listening! Listening to women and colleagues 💕 #midwifery #QualityImporvement
Great webinar yesterday hosted by the @MidwivesRCM on Surrogacy 🙌🏾
Lovely to hear about @SurrogacyUKorg and the lived experiences within the maternity service.

Cervical screening is one of the best ways to protect yourself from cervical cancer. It's not a test for cancer, it's a test to help prevent cancer.
Protect yourself — attend your cervical screening when invited. nhs.uk/cervicalscreening

Classes, Exams, Scholarships, Dissertation, all done ✅
A big thank you to my family and friends. A lot of hard work has gone into getting here. But ultimately, ALL the glory must go to God 🙏🏾, my number 1 ✨
And it’s a wrap!
I graduated with a masters in Public Health from @KingsCollegeLon Started this journey in 2021 and met some amazing people along the way. Thank you to all who supported me 💕It still feels like a dream 😆

Menopause isn't a health condition, it’s a stage of life.
Improve your knowledge of the menopause and how it may affect you or someone you work with by completing our e-learning module. ➡️ e-lfh.org.uk/programmes/meno…

The Safe Learning Environment Charter has now been published.
It was put in place to help providers ensure they offer a supportive environment for their learners. We would encourage everyone working in midwifery and midwifery learning to read the charter orlo.uk/ilKYe

Today is the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).
FGM is an extreme form of discrimination against women, violates human rights, and causes serious health harms.
It must be prevented. #EndFGM!
