Hypnotic@auscandoc I agree this isn’t good but neither is a poorly staffed maternity service without the necessary resources - maternity theatres, scrub staff, obstetricians, Anaesthetists & midwives all of whom are practicing regularly, fully trained and experienced. Not to mention on-site blood bank & all their staff & oh I nearly forgot neonates! What compromises can be made? #MaternityCare #PatientSafety #OckendenReport #RuralMaternityCare #ObstetricMedicine #ObstetricAnaesthesia
@amydiehl This is so true. I work in maternal health and women of colour have significant higher morbidity & mortality. This is often down to systemic racial bias. As an individual I am aware of this and try to make sure I listen, respect and believe my patients of all colours! #mbbraceReport #MaternalHealth #MaternalCare #ObstetricMedicine #obstetricAnaesthesia #MaternalMedicine #RacialBias
Today is an educational day - starting off with a meeting about our new hospital theatre manager system. I’m not so into this…. But I know it’s necessary.
Next I am signing into the UK Maternal Cardiology Society Meeting which I am really looking forward to. It’s an area that I always feel I need to know more about. #MaternalCardiology #ObsAnaesthesia #ObstetricCriticalCare #ObstetricMedicine #Learning #CPD

Dr Rob Parker-McQuillanI feel a bit out of the loop with mastodon this past week - had a lot going on and not much internal bandwidth to add here.
However, I've had a fab time at #MOMS2022 - an #ObstetricMedicine meeting in the UK. Some of my main takeaways:
1. Massive work to do with big data and it's need to impact further evidence based medicine!
2. Utilisation of tools to discourage inappropriate deprescribing in pregnancy.
3. Need to get out of our silos and work collaboratively across a person's care, especially when complex. System approach needed.
4. Continue to tackle discrimination and stigma of diseases such as HIV, and champion the amazing work being done
5. The multilevel work needed to tackle racial discrimination and care within pregnancy: maternal mortality rate if 5x higher in black population
6. Hypertensive disease in pregnancy is so much more complex than we realise when we sit in clinic, but underpins so much morbidity, much of which we don't fully realise yet. Very much iceberg effect.
7. It's massively inspiring seeing so many IMTs at MOMS who are so passionate even after the pressures of the last few years.
