First Blue Sky post (into the void 😆). Yesterday was one of those really good days where I felt like I could live off the feeling forever. 🗣️Shortlisted to go through to the Three Minute Thesis finals (whoop!) 👩🏼‍💻granted ethical approval to start fertility treatment research (🤓Red specs!)

Excellent morning attending the Faculty Heat of the Manchester Met Uni 3 Minute Thesis (3MT) competition. Huge congratulations to @carolinebiddle.bsky.social for an outstanding presentation & progressing to the final in May 🌟👏 #McrMetProud #Fertility #Work

"UK employers ‘risk losing good people’ without policies on infertility, say managers" Great to see our Workplace Fertility Campaign Group & white paper mentioned in this @guardian article on a recent CMI survey www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

What do you think of this #2024blueskyrewind I created for you @drkryswilkinson.bsky.social? You directly had an input in its creation. I saw your post about LinkedIn year in review, and wanted one for Bluesky. I couldn't find one, so I made one. Folks can get theirs at blueskysmarts.co.

Great new GWO paper engaging with organisational interest in fertility benefits. Hugely grateful to the authors for so generously citing our work ❤️ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

I really enjoyed joining the @mmhalliance.bsky.social Member Lunch and Learn session today, alongside the incredible Elizabeth Sankey and Milli (Motherly Love) to discuss #BIFA2024 award-winning 😍 film WITCHES. So proud to be part of it.

😍😍😍 WITCHES won Best Feature Documentary at the @BIFA_film awards! Huge congratulations to Elizabeth Sankey and her team 👏 The more hype around this film, the more people it is likely to help. #perinatalmentalhealth

Four struggles men face during the transition to fatherhood

Following our panel (perinatal mental wellbeing) at the recent This Can Happen Conference, & in connection with my wider research/interests around mental health & wellbeing in the workplace, I'm really pleased to join the TCH Advisory Editorial Board ☺️ Thanks Zoe Sinclair for the invitation

Brilliant article on WITCHES in Glamour. So many gems! 'There is an urgency, I think, for me, in terms of people sharing the film, so that it reaches the women who maybe wouldn't know about the resources that are available to them' Elizabeth Sankey www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/article/witc...

Great to see @mmhalliance.bsky.social on here! The Maternal Mental Health Alliance is a UK charity and network of 130 organisations, dedicated to ensuring women and families affected by perinatal mental health problems have access to high-quality, compassionate care 💜

Continuing with the random posts, it was an honour to attend the Women in Work Summit recently, and contribute to panels on fertility treatment and return to work after family leave (inc. discussing perinatal mental health). These issues matter at work!!

Amazing to attend the This Can Happen conference on mental health at work. Even more amazing that they had a panel dedicated to perinatal mental health ❤️ #ThisCanHappen #perinatalmentalhealth
