Mavis Kirkham is a long retired midwife and midwifery researcher, greatly saddened by the state of birth and midwifery in the NHS and trying to understand what can be done. Her clinical focus was home birth and a rural birth centre. Her abiding research interest is in peoples’ relationship with, and efforts to control their work and its setting. This started with a study of the history of workers co-operatives (1972) and for many years has been concerned with childbearing women and midwives. Last year she edited Freebirth Stories with Nadine Edwards. She is the proud mother of Anna Fielder who published Going into Labour: childbirth in capitalism last November.
Mavis would like to examine possible reasons why maternity services management seems not to be able to tolerate true continuity of carer. It is a big threat to all they stand for: standardisation, control of services and seeing midwives as a resource which can be moved to plug the gaps in services. 
We can then think about how to make our voices heard so as to change expectations and values. 
Please arrive from 6.30 for provided refreshments and social time before a prompt atart at 7.  All proceeds benefit the good work of the charity The Pregnancy and Parents Centre.

Best Things to Do

Historic buildings

Night view

苏河家园

Edinburgh Castle is the soul of this city. Climbing the castle, you feel like traveling back to the Middle Ages. The ancient walls and black ancient cannons all tell of the smoke of war. Standing on the top of the castle, you can overlook the city scenery of Edinburgh, with red tiles, green trees, blue sea and blue sky.

Edinburgh Old Town

Edinburgh Old City, England, is surrounded by medieval stone buildings and beautiful scenery. Edinburgh is not only a financial town, but also a palace of art. Walking on the street, you can see entertainers&#39; happy performances everywhere. This is the origin of traditional Scottish dress skirts, the blend of art and life makes people linger, it is worth a visit.

Palace of Holyroodhouse

M12***57

Holyrood Palace is very spectacular, with ancient palace architectural style, classical style buildings, and very good landscaping. It is worth visiting. Britannia is worth visiting, but the fun is average and the cost performance is not high.

The Scotch Whisky Experience

Calton Hill

Mountain climbing

Oo西野司oO

&quot;Bagpipes sound from afar, I only care about your news.
The castle keeps secrets for love, and I keep memories for you.&quot;
This is the location of Jay Chou&#39;s MV &quot;Obviously&quot;,
and it is also the birthplace of J.K. Rowling&#39;s creation of &quot;Harry Potter&quot;.
If you dream of a medieval city in a magical world,
then you must come here in this life.
Every building is a natural movie background,
and every corner seems to hide a secret passage to another world.
In the end, when the sunset on Calton Hill confiscated time,
Edinburgh, becoming amber that never fades, will always remain in my memory.
