To discover @LeedsHospitals strategy in the aftermath of the Morecambe Bay, stated that hospital bosses expected “all parts of the maternity service to actively promote normal birth: a natural, or vaginal birth, with minimal medical interventions”, makes me feel sick. 2/

We spoke with @thetimes and @ShaunLintern who today publish a shocking piece showing how the c section rates in Leeds were the lowest nationally, whilst the stillbirth and neonatal death rates became the highest nationally. 1/ thetimes.com/uk/healthcare/…

How many avoidable deaths & injuries in the English maternity system have the same cause as these deaths & injuries caused by freebirthing. 🧵 1/15 theguardian.com/world/ng-inter…
My two paragraph summary of my ignorance about covid, and why I think we should find clever ways to test stuff more.
I've written about my thoughts, tangentially to the inquiry, on covid post-mortems. About confident maths, lack of confidence, and whether we should experiment on kids (we should). If I ever write about covid again, assume it's a hostage situation. thetimes.com/article/3c7c89…

I've been writing about patients delayed in ambulances since 2021 at least. Today my family are experiencing it too. I made it from London before mum got in at @UHNM_NHS Staff are trying their best & doing what they can but the system is just so stretched and we've normalised it

Environmentalists are increasingly worried that Labour ministers are giving up on nature at home and abroad. Cop30 and planning reforms raising alarms. I’ve written about the growing row in today’s environment newsletter. link.thetimes.co.uk/view/61951caf7…
#BMJInvestigation finds thousands of locally employed doctors are trapped in insecure NHS contracts with no access to training, career progression, or national safeguards. Experts warn that the NHS is effectively “behaving like a gig economy employer” bmj.com/content/391/bm…
