Flu season is just around the corner, and if you’re pregnant, getting your flu jab is one of the best ways to protect both you and your baby. 💙

✅ The flu vaccine is free, safe, and recommended at any stage of pregnancy.
✅ Between 16-32 weeks of pregnancy, the whooping cough (pertussis) vaccine is recommended to help protect your baby during their first few months of life.
✅ From around 28 weeks, you may also be offered the RSV vaccine.

🤰 Talk to your midwife for more information about vaccinations and give your baby the best start this winter.

Last week our last tiny research participants joined DIvO – a national study looking at how we screen for congenital cataracts in newborns. 👶

Over the past year, we’ve been able to offer an additional test to an incredible 1700 babies using a digital imaging device called a Neocam alongside our current technique using an ophthalmoscope, to see which is more accurate.

💙 A huge thank you to all of our new parents who opted to take part - we’ll share the results when they’re ready.

The programme described us as "a huge success story" and we couldn't be prouder of the whole team for working together to achieve this. 🫶

This International Neonatal Nurses Day we reflect on the incredible hard work and dedication of our neonatal nurses who support babies and families through the toughest times.

They give round-the-clock care to babies who are sick or born prematurely.

Thank you for your expertise, your skill and for everything you do for the tiniest and most fragile lives. 💙

👶 We love hearing from families whose babies we’ve helped bring into the world!

Thank you to Emily, who shared this photo and message:

“I’ve had all my babies with you and I gave birth back in April to my third baby VBAC, a little girl and the midwife team were the best.

“I never got to thank them properly but Megan and Danielle (student midwife) were amazing and my baby Daisy is thriving.

Thank you for doing what you do, never would I choose a different hospital or care to birth my child, thank you angels.”
