Absolutely LOVED the #SaferSleepWeek conference in Leicester today, got to meet Jess, Tilly and Michon from the neonatal unit who helped us design and test part of the Baby Sleep Project. And the mentimeters worked!

It's #SaferSleepWeek ! I'm going to Leicester tomorrow to speak at and attend their safer sleep conference, looking forward to catching up with fantastic colleagues 😀 and 8 hours on 4 trains so guess how many papers I will get written 🤔

Happy International Women's Day! Despite the efforts, while much more women enter scientific fields, due to numerous factors, few manage to remain in the field or secure senior positions. Support your coworkers, call out harmful systemic behaviour. 😘

I've never used mentimeter during a talk, so of course the best time to use tech you've zero experience of is during a 3 minute pitch to a room full of child health clinicians and peers. On a laptop that wasn't connected to the Internet. We live and learn but here are the results! So beautiful 😍

Realist reviewers, here's a banger of a new paper by a South African group whose work I've only just become aware of. Good bit of philosophy to chew on if you've time. But also seeking to make RR more practical. Enjoy! #healthpolicy

When patients are not heard by their doctors there can be devastating consequences.

So why does this happen & what can be done to address it?

On the cover, Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan explores this question.

Read her full essay & more: tinyurl.com/5c7xwj2e ‪@drrageshri.bsky.social‬

Cover of The Lancet's Feb 15, 2025 issue. Quote on cover reads "At the core of patients not being heard is the unequal power dynamic between doctor and patient. Each holds a different form of expertise...It is vital that we combine this expertise and collaborate."

We've been warning about unsafe temporary housing for years. We should not have had to wait for 74 children to die before those in power start to listen. "Temporary" should mean safe, not "anything will do" @ncmd.bsky.social

Temporary housing linked to deaths of at least 74 children

Official data show that 58 of those children were babies under the age of one.

I'm completely obsessed with this article as a parent who commonly bed shares. I've always received quite balanced advice on bed sharing from health professionals (probs bc I'm so middle class), but it is a real touchpaper online, particularly the US I think.
