Are you a midwife who has significant experience of using interpreters to discuss mental health with women?
How do you do that effectively? 🤔. Would you be willing to share those experiences and help help shape future good practice recommendations? 🤔

A lost piece of midwifery history - I need your help please..
Last month I visited our local library to ask the history department if they had any information about a midwife who practised in our town during the 1940s and 50s.

Look who I met up with, by chance, in San Sebastián, Spain, yesterday! Soo Downe, for those of you who don’t know her, she’s a professor of midwifery. And my buddy and advocate.
Soo is cycling with her partner, and happened to be close by. Incredible. We had two hours of non-stop chatter.
