Dad had to record a 20 sec video over Christmas for my brothers 40th as he lives in Oz, it took over 7 minutes because he couldn’t get past the word “Hello” without cracking up, if you need cheering up or just want a good laugh, watch it.🤣

It's imperative that those with influence listen to what @decdevane is saying here ↙️↙️↙️ Obstructive practice CANNOT be allowed to continue, if multidisciplinary relationships are compromised by personal bias, bad care ensues and women will lose out. @LeoVaradkar @SimonHarrisTD
Welcome @SimonHarrisTD clear statement of support for Cavan MLU. Surprised that the hospital has yet to publicly reverse its decision. Opposition to Cavan MLU has been tolerated for years and remains so today. This introduces risk for women. When there isn't a shared vision...1/3

It's with deep regret that the MAI can now publicly address what we could only allude to recently. The MLU in Cavan is to be 'realigned' 'merged' or whatever semantics people like to put to it into CLU care. This is an absolute travesty > @NiamhSmythTD anglocelt.ie/2020/06/05/mate…
In light of disturbing news, not yet public, it appears women and midwives have another battle ahead of us in Ireland. We will not stand idly by and allow any area of the #supportedcare #midwiferyled pathway to be diminished or closed.#StrongerTogether @NWIHP @NWCI @AIMSIreland

Revisiting this question by @deshocks last year. The MAI have consistently tried to highlight inequalities encountered by black women in pregnancy/childbirth. It's time the @HSELive act on these findings and those of previous @mbrrace reports #blackmaternalhealth #BLM #5xMore

Absolute pleasure to join @MidwivesIreland panel discussion on how we might do better at unifying a Midwifery voice in Ireland. It’s badly needed so my thanks and appreciation to all @MidwivesIreland for all you do – at Galway, Ireland

Midwives also regret the impact of the proposed strike h'ever to provide safe & requisite care, we have no choice. The omission of the word 'midwife' in @HSELive tweet underpins the invisibility & lack of respect for midwifery in Ireland. @INMO_IRL #standwithnursesandmidwives
Nurses who are members of the INMO are due to commence strike action on Wednesday, 30th January. Many of our services will not be available. We regret the inconvenience this may cause to our patients. For more see hse.ie/!KCAEMX

Great midwifery leadership shown by @PHUGHES2017 a lot of agreement with her sentiments #midwivesmakeadifference
Patricia Hughes - let’s use midwives effectively in Ireland and stop wasting resources. Change needs to be driven from the top and midwives need to come on board with leadership and their own professional association @world_midwives @FrankaCadee @IrishTimes #irishmidwives

On the wall of my office I have a quote from Pablo Picasso "Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist".
People make up rules. People are fallible. Ergo...

💚1. Take care of you ~ we can’t pour from an empty cup; women (and all in your life) will benefit 💚 2. professionalism is key ~ stay positive and avoid mirroring unprofessional behaviours 💚 3. relax, enjoy and ask for help ~ no one knows everything 😊 #Tips4NewMidwives – at Newtonhill, Scotland

Fantastic Liz. My #Tips4NewMidwives today is: don’t engage in negative cultures to ‘fit in’. Learn useful non-confrontational phrases such as ‘I’d feel sad if you spoke about me this way’ 😔 if you hear an individual being criticised. @allyclare1 @thelovelymaeve @bloodtobaby
