Thank-you so much!
I can't help but reflect today on some not so encouraging conversations I had early on in my academic career w senior academics about whether it is possible to be a successful academic working less than full time with children.
It is.
I did.
You can.

I saw the news story on twitter about plans to pharmacists to dispense #antibiotics without a prescription. I didn't believe it at first, and this would clearly take us backwards. We need to stand against this one folks #ip2022conf thetimes.co.uk/article/chemi…

HRH visited the neonatal unit where she was given a demonstration of the @TheNeotree System, which empowers health workers in low resource settings to count & care for every newborn. UK aid is supporting the system due to its potential to save many babies’ lives.

Happy International Women’s Day!
@TheNeotree and @artgloafrica empower mothers and carers of sick newborns to surface their stories of seeking healthcare through art and media. Fantastic scenes of a recent exhibition in Malawi.
