ManU played York City that year while I was at Uni of York. Nobody believes that now.

Michel lived locally to me, often picked up his son from school, who was in same class as my daughter. Ordinary father (in a good way); extraordinary man.

Love ‘cereal monitoring’! Keeping fibre levels up?

The emphasis on enhancing continuity of care is rightly identified in the NHS statement. Relationship-based care ensures improvement to outcomes, efficiency to the system & greater satisfaction for both professionals & women: importantly, evidence supporting other models of care is wholly lacking.

NHS’s convenient term of ‘maternity & neonatal’ means the focus of care moves smoothly along from pregnancy to birth to baby: little or no attention paid to the new mother. Poor postnatal care is sadly reflected in the majority of maternal deaths occurring at that time @nctcharity.bsky.social

Galloway cliffs at Balcary Bay good enough for me today!
