1. 'The pen is mightier...' - Finding the Right Words: Sharing & Influencing - Leah Hazard & Natalie Corden

How important is it to be able to share and talk about issues within midwifery – the stresses, and the joys, challenges and the achievements? In this time of pandemic, rapidly growing information and changing services, it is crucial for midwives to be able to communicate and to be kept up-to-date through books, journals and, of course, social media.  In this hour, Nat and Leah, both experienced and committed midwives, will share their experiences as midwives and as bloggers and authors. We will go through day-to-day practice, continuity of care and work-life balance... and we may even discuss physiological matters along the way!  Episode 1 of Series 4 of the Maternity and Midwifery Hour   Hosted by:  Sue Macdonald, Curator, Maternity & Midwifery Festivals; Co-editor, Mayes Midwifery   With contributions from:  Natalie Corden, Continuity Midwife; Blogger  Leah Hazard, Author, Hard Pushed; Midwife Supported by MATFLIX: www.matflix.co.uk Register for the next Maternity & Midwifery Festival:  mmf.eventbrite.com
