I hope this poem gives you a view
To be kind to others & to yourself be true
Hospitals, clinics & community work
Its fellow humans you’re caring for so please don’t shirk
They need your love,passion, time & explanation
Please focus on the way you give communication
Consider your language & the way you speak
Empathy is strength , it does not mean you’re weak
Holding a hand & reassurance ain’t just talk
Its shows through your eyes – means your walking the walk
The person you are caring for is a human other
-a sister, brother,friend,father, mother
Be mindful of their thoughts and the way they might be feeling
From an illness or accident that’s left them reeling
Treat and approach colleagues with zero hierarchy
collaboration doesn’t support any of that malarkey
See the whole human, not just the condition
Be holistic and please let this be your sole mission
Allow care,competence, kindness to guide you through
As one day that “person” – well it just might be you

My passion is to encourage all staff globally who work in maternity services to challenge separation of the mother and newborn and rethink skin to skin contact in any birth setting❤️
I am also constantly thinking about how we can best facilitate skin to skin contact especially in operative births and/or when a woman is taken to the operating theatre post-birth for any procedures.
Skin to skin at birth is non-repeatable,once in a lifetime chance. I also want birth-workers, women and families to consider how long a newborn has been out of skin to skin contact. My work is inspired by Dr Nils Bergman - he motivated me to start blogging and tweeting about #SkinToSkin contact .
I also talk a lot about courage and compassion two values which for me belong together especially in today’s NHS - I present around the UK helping future midwives and midwives by giving strategy advice on being a midwife in today’s NHS .
I am also very interested in leadership and what it entails - leadership isn’t about being “in charge” but helping others , raising others , being compassionate, kind and having integrity- it’s a lifestyle ❤️
