My colleague and a group of very brave student nurses (now qualified) have published this article on student nurse deployment during the pandemic 👏👏👏 @benbo2013 has very generously included me as co-author (I basically proof-read it). Give it a read!

Madness.
We are saddened and disheartened by the postponement of the UK sitting of the RCOG Part 1 exam - due on Mon 19th Sep. Junior Doctors spend months dedicated to revising for these exams. Delays cause a significant mental toll, as well as potentially affecting training progression

Queen Elizabeth II, the UK's longest-serving monarch, has died at Balmoral aged 96, after reigning for 70 years. A trailblazer in public and in private. Did you know that #HerMajesty breastfed her children, and paved the way for future generations of the royal family?

It's #ToolsOfTheTrade day! Today we are looking at a nineteenth century nipple shield made out of wood that women used during breastfeeding for protection. It has five holes in it and would was used to keep the baby from biting the nipple during feeding. oldoperatingtheatre.com/
