13.12 In other words… resting, writing and reading

This last in the series Maternity and Midwifery hour offers something a little different. As the summer has arrived in the UK and many of us are getting into the mood for the holiday season, alongside getting our swimming costumes out, sun block at the ready and our attention turns to books. At last we will have some time to read that book we’ve had on the shelf for a while, or maybe you have always wanted to write a novel and wonder how to start. To help us all, we are honoured to have two wonderful speakers - Alys Einion, midwife, academic, author and editor and Dianne Garland, midwife consultant and water birth expert, author and editor. Alys will be talking about the importance of breaks and sharing her journey from midwife to author and editor, and Dianne will be sharing her experience as a reviewer, highlighting some books that she has been reading, plus some that you might like to read yourself!
