Brings back memories of being presented an award by Julia Neuberger in sixth form many years ago!

Alastair Campbell @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social · last yr.

Great evening with Julia Neuberger and David Probert co-presenting awards to some of the great people who work at @uclh.bsky.social … my way of saying thanks for great care on several occasions. Special people doing special things in our special NHS

Are you a midwife who has significant experience of using interpreters to discuss mental health with women? How do you do that effectively? 🤔. Would you be willing to share those experiences and help help shape future good practice recommendations? 🤔 Contact me 4 more info…

This is a fantastic project led brilliantly by @rachelbenchekroun.bsky.social with some really exciting contributions. A real treat for anyone interested in #migration

If you are doing a PhD, what kinds of things do you wish you had known in your first year? Alternatively, if you're faculty and are training PhD students, what kinds of things do you think would have benefited your trainees earlier in their training? I'm editing a presentation on this topic.

Yesterday: Nigel Farage says Reform UK "will detain and deport absolutely anyone that comes via that route.. Yes, women and children" Today: Nigel Farage, "Deportation of illegal immigrants, we were not even discussing women and children at this stage. The news reports who said that were wrong"

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

Absolutely outrageous that the Taliban claim that Afghanistan is a "place where everyone can live with dignity" and equally outrageous that Farage wants to do a returns deal with them. #LetAfghanGirlsLearn #genderapartheid www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

Taliban: We’re ready to work with Farage on migrants

Senior official says they will not take money but instead accept aid to support any Afghans deported under Reform plans

Why is Texas limiting midwives’ ability to care for women—especially in rural areas? Silvia Esparza calls on lawmakers to grant midwives full practice authority. zurl.co/t6rvJ

This is the Home Office behaving exactly as intended: The visa fees paid by a grieving widower to bring his wife to the UK are kept. Despite the face that she literally died before she made it to UK soil. We need to rip this broken institution apart.

This is a disaster for maternal health in Afghanistan

Nazanin, a 23-year-old midwife can now only go to work if she is accompanied by a man and carries a mahram card. The man, who is her husband, must remain unemployed to serve as her mahram, and they both must carry a card. zantimes.com/2025/06/25/w...

Choose the research method that suits your participants and answers your research question. Not the one that you’ve got a cool new Miro board for. Not the one you heard about on LinkedIn. Not the one you want to mention on your CV. That is all.

This year has been devastating for Afghan refugees. As Afghanistan is plagued by insecurity, economic collapse, and deepening poverty, both Iran and Pakistan have started large-scale mass deportation of Afghan refugees. zantimes.com/2025/06/03/n...
