💙Today is International Day of the Midwife💙

Midwives play a central role during labour, offering skilled guidance and reassurance. Beyond birth, midwives provide essential care and support, helping families navigate recovery, infant feeding and the transition into parenthood.

At the heart of midwifery is a commitment to safe, personalised care - ensuring that every family feels informed, supported, and respected during one of life’s most significant experiences.

We celebrate and thank you for everything you do.

We are pleased to share that the Labour Ward at Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust is undergoing a refurbishment to enhance the environment for our patients and staff. This includes fresh paintwork, new flooring, and updated blinds — all part of a planned improvement programme.
While these works are underway, there may be some temporary disruption or increased noise for those attending the Labour Ward. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and would like to thank you for your patience and understanding.
Our teams will continue to work hard to ensure care and safety remain our top priorities throughout the refurbishment.

Nestlé has taken the precautionary step of recalling several SMA Infant Formula and Follow-On Formula because they may contain cereulide toxin.

The possible presence of cereulide (toxin) makes these products unsafe to consume.
Cereulide is a toxin produced by some strains of Bacillus cereus. Cereulide is highly heat stable meaning it is unlikely to be deactivated or destroyed by cooking, using boiling water or when making the infant milk. If consumed it can lead to rapid onset of symptoms.
Symptoms caused by this toxin include nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps.
Even if you have not identified ill-health in your baby as a result of consumption of this product, it is essential to stop using it. If the infant formula or follow-on formula was prescribed by a health professional for your infant, consult a pharmacist or other medical professional before changing formula.

The batch numbers effected are quite a vast list which we have attached. This is the website below from the food standards agency.
