International Day of the Midwife: celebrating the people behind every birth

Today is about midwives – the people who stay calm in emergencies, hold hands at 3am, and remember the small details that families never forget. From antenatal clinics to labour ward and postnatal care, midwives carry a huge emotional and physical load, often in very pressured environments. If you work alongside them in estates, EBME, procurement or management, one of the most meaningful things you can do is ask, "What would make your day a little easier?" Sometimes the answer is a quieter room, a more practical layout, clearer communication, or simply knowing that planned changes won't land without notice. However you're connected to maternity services, today is a good day to say thank you to the midwives you work with – and to listen to what they need next. https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0v2s-80

Vaccination teams do an incredible job, in clinics, schools and community venues, often in busy, improvised spaces. World Immunisation Week is a good chance to recognise that work. https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0sWj5X0

Everything from where chairs are placed to whether there's space for prams or wheelchairs affects how people experience those moments. If you help look after equipment or rooms, you're part of that story too. You can see some of the clinic and monitoring kit changing hands between services here: https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0sWjfn0

World Parkinson's Day: recognising long‑term support

On World Parkinson's Day we're thinking about everyone who lives with Parkinson's, and the families and professionals who walk alongside them over many years. Neurology nurses, therapists, consultants, pharmacists and community teams often build relationships that last for decades.

A kind word, a familiar face and a bit of extra time can mean a lot when symptoms are changing. If you know someone affected by Parkinson's, or work with a team that supports them, today is a good day to check in, say thank you.

https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0sWkMb0

World Parkinson's Day is on Saturday 11 April 2026. We've got everything you need to get involved. Find out how you can raise awareness and improve the lives of people with Parkinson's.
