I'm pleased we're hosting this event on diversity in midwifery. This initiative is vital for addressing inequalities in maternity and neonatal services and ensuring safety for all. We need a diverse workforce that is both skilled and capable of providing culturally sensitive care
We all need a little help sometimes, and there’s no shame in asking for it.
On #InternationalMensDay, help us share some of the places men can turn to, in moments when things get too much.

This Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honour the over 350 trans people killed globally this year, and many more who have died by suicide.
These are the violent consequences of anti-trans extremism.
We won’t rest until everyone in our society has dignity, freedom and safety.
Happy #InternationalMensDay!
Today we celebrate our fantastic Ambassadors and volunteers, men determined to create a safer, more equal world for women and girls and men and boys.

We're pleased to see the updated @NICEcomms Guidelines on Menopause: Identification and management. Thank you to our members who helped inform our response to the consultation process, including @BabcpWow.ly/lwyj50U2hvX#MenopauseGuideline
For Male Victims of Domestic Abuse Day I want to highlight the powerful voice of Richard Spencer who in bravely sharing his story shows men there is no shame in seeking support. Domestic abuse affects everyone. #MenYouAreNotAlone#MyWifeMyAbuser is now streaming on Netflix. ⬇️
#MyWifeMyAbuser is a difficult but necessary watch. This doc film not only shines a light for male victims of coercive control, but for children who witness domestic abuse too. Anyone can be a victim. There is support available. There is a life after abuse.
🚨 New Episode Alert! 🚨
In this new Practice Matters epsiode @DrRachelHandley talks with @DrFionaCh all about perinatal OCD and how CBT is an effective treatment to help give parents back their joy.

This Supporting Male Victims of Abuse Day, I stand with male victims.
Men face specific challenges accessing support, and many struggle to get the help they need, which is why we need gender-informed services for men.
Remember, #MenYouAreNotAlonemensadviceline.org.uk/
How can men be invited into the work of preventing and reducing sexual harassment?
- Personalise the issue
- Appeal to higher values and principles
- Emphasise that men will benefit
- Start with men wherever they are
- Begin with the positive and build on men’s strengths

Normalize not making little girls hug anyone. Let them say no. Teach them it’s ok to not want to be touched, to need space, and to choose who they share affection with.
Let this generation stop the performance.
