A week ago, I was preparing to share my views at @APPG_WH on women's #informedchoice. With @JanePlumb & @RCObsGyn I advocated for respect of women and our agency; health professionals' openness to learning; & access to the info we need, when we need it and in the way we need it.

Great to have young people from @TheBRITSchool running drama and dance sessions for children via @CPParkTrust. Loved seeing everyone learning from the experience. More of this please!

A must read for any clinician who encounters a vascular EDS patient. Great blog by Clare who writes so well about her experience and how frightening it can be when people don't understand your condition. From @AJsChallenge #vEDS

I agree! The presentation by @neilajryan was so very clear. I learnt a lot and feel much more informed. I now understand the importance of this area of work and explaining it in an accessible way.
Thank you @neilajryan for such a fascinating talk on #genomics and the @RCObsGyn taskforce. Vital that women understand how genomics can assist them in making informed decisions

There’s lots of evidence that #involvement in #research studies adds value. But does #PPI in research add value for charities? An @slginvolvement report details the 10 ways that #PPI helps charities do their jobs better. Full report here: bit.ly/3nda2O2 @AMRC
