Happy International midwives day to all our wonderful midwives @CDDFTNHS

🙈🙈🙈At no point during the covid pandemic, or indeed any time, do nurses go back to the staff room for a ‘quiet drink’ This would be career ending (and rightly so). Struggling with my feelings on this given how hard we have all worked for the last 2 years & how broken many are
