Conferences
University talk
In January we spoke at the London Maternity & Midwifery Festival, where we discussed improving group B Strep prevention with Professor Jacqueline Dunkley-Bent OBE, Chief Midwifery Officer (pictured above with Jane & Oliver Plumb).
Lynsey White joined us for a half day training session with 3rd year midwifery students at Middlesex University. It was a lively session, with lots of great questions.
We had a similar discussion with Dr Edward Morris, President of the Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists at Baby Lifeline’s National Maternity Safety Conference. In February, we visited the Emerald Isle to speak at the All-Ireland 2020 Maternity & Midwifery Festival in Dublin. The team had lots of interesting conversations with midwives, health-care professionals and students.
The highlight was Lynsey bravely sharing her personal experience of group B Strep. Her first baby, Frankie, sadly died from group B Strep infection, at only 4 days old. Middlesex have invited us back next year.
