I see Jackie Smith has been appointed Chair at @royalhospital - the announcement frames her role at the NMC as being positive. She resigned in disgrace after the @prof_standards published a damning report into serious failures relating to how the NMC handled Morecambe Bay case & treated bereaved families, including mine. 1/…

💥MATERNITY COMMISSIONER RALLY AT PARLIAMENT Join us in Westminster on Wednesday 11th February to raise awareness and demand that the UK Government urgently appoints a Maternity Commissioner. Louise Thompson and Theo Clarke have created a petition calling on Parliament to take action and appoint a dedicated commissioner to improve maternity care, accountability, and safety for new mothers and families across the country. This event is about coming together to: ➡️Support the petition ➡️Raise public awareness ➡️Encourage Parliament to debate this issue ➡️Stand up for safer maternity care ➡️Make some noise and demand change We want as many people as possible. Friends, families, supporters, campaigners to attend and show that this matters. Why it’s important: Over the last ten years, nearly 750 recommendations have been made through countless maternity enquiries, all supposedly aimed at preventing suffering like ours. And yet… The system is still failing women and families Previous policy recommendations are not being implemented RESERVE A SPOT VIA EVENTBRITE: eventbrite.com/e/maternity-c… 📍Location: College Green (Great Peter House, Abbey Gardens, 2 Great College St, Westminster, London SW1P 3SE) 🗓️ Date: 11th February 2026 👥 Expected attendance: 50–200 people 📢 Come along, bring others, and help us be heard. 📸 Group photo to take place at 11am!

Carolynne was the highlight of #RCOG2025 day 1- shining a light on a ‘taboo’ part of #womenshealth. Why are we not made aware of these risks of vaginal birth? Why are women suffering in silence? Why are women having to fight for caesarean births? #OASI #BirthTrauma
Colorectal surgeon, Carolynne Vaisey, shares the lived experiences of her patients with anal sphincter injuries- “I’m suicidal & I hate my child”, “I’m housebound”, “I can’t face having more children”. #OASI #BirthTrauma #MaternitySafety #RCOG2025

Leonnie's birth resulted in quite severe physical injuries. In August, she, her wife Emma and son George are going to have a Wheel-A-Thon to raise money for us. We would love it if you could support her: justgiving.com/page/leonnie-…
