Today is and the theme is ‘Safe care for every newborn and every child’.

To mark the date, we’re sharing Health Innovation North East and North Cumbria’s new Maternity and Neonatal Safety Improvement Programme (MatNeoSip) Impact Report.

https://healthinnovationnenc.org.uk/maternity-and-neonatal-safety-improvement-impact-report/

For five years, the NENC Patient Safety Collaborative has supported a system-wide approach to improving the administration of evidence-based interventions for pre-term births.

This report showcases the progress, challenges, and impact of this vital work across our region, helping to improve outcomes for babies and their families.

👩‍🎓This A Level results day we’re thinking about our Student Midwife colleagues…..Did you know that Student Midwives need to facilitate the birth of 40 babies in order to qualify as a Midwife?!

👩‍🎓As a leading Teaching Trust, we have a strong history of providing high-quality care, clinical excellence, research-led services & innovation.

👩‍🎓Our wonderful students complete a combination of university-based learning & practical experience during their journey to becoming confident, competent Registered Midwives!

👩‍🎓Beth (pictured) is one of our 3rd year Student Midwives. Here she is celebrating her 40th birth - gorgeous baby Isabelle was born on the 6th August, weighing 7lb 7.5oz!

Congratulations to Beth! We think you’re going to be fabulous midwife! 🙌🏻

Congratulations also to Isabelle’s parents on the birth of your baby girl - Thank you for sharing this lovely picture with us! 💕

🤱It’s World Breastfeeding Week 2025!

🤱Breastfeeding takes more than just one person, it takes a village. And by village, we mean partners, family, friends, midwives, peer supporters, health visitors, everyone who shows up with love, encouragement, and practical help.

🤱When a mother/parent feels surrounded by care and understanding, they’re more likely to feel confident, supported, and able to reach their feeding goals.
