Thanks @rcpch.bsky.social for giving us the chance to present the priority setting partnership on LGBTQIA+ perinatal care to paediatricians. Just a shame that the 8am timing and 30 minute length limited what we could share and how many people we could connect to... @natboxall.bsky.social

Had a great time at the Neonatal Society meeting today. So many people were interested to hear about the induced lactation & shared lactation questions that came from the JLA priority setting partnership for LGBTQIA+ perinatal care. And so many presentations on great UK neonatal research

If you/a family member has used maternity or neonatal services in England, share your experience with the NMNI team. Tell them what worked, what didn’t, what must change. Help make care safer & better. Please add your voice & share so others can too. www.matneoinv.org.uk/call-for-evi...

Thank you for your wonderful review. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I wish everyone would read it too. Especially politicians. Then all doctors, whose voices are unsettlingly quiet on the matter of our government led withdrawal of trans healthcare and how this fits with ‘do no harm’.

Absolutely delighted to see the Child Cancer Smart campaign launch today. A campaign steeped in evidence aiming to raise awareness and accelerate diagnosis for all children and young people with cancer. Huge thank you to everyone who has worked so hard to make this happen.

The moment I saw that "trans bra" M & S story I sensed it was nonsense. Seconds later, having read the Telegraph piece I knew it was worse than that. It was deliberate hate mongering completely devoid of evidence, names and facts. Superb job of debunking it here www.thepinknews.com/2025/08/06/m...
