Tina Midwifery Educator
Thank you both very much for continuing Lynda’s legacy for questioning and exploring the uncomfortable or tough topics. The reality of maternity care shortages/super stresses and the deep impact it’s having on women, babies and families is shameful. […] Thank you for the great work you do
Kathy
Thank you for making sure I received this. […] for continuing to raise these issues and for the important work you do.
CarolynMidwifery lecturer
I must say I did enjoy the read this month, great mixture of statistical data and personal truth from woman. […] Keep up the good work, collection of data and research is necessary for governing departments to pay attention and it’s important for LMC and their patients to know their continued well-being is pertinent.
