Best Beginnings: a proposal for a new early years guarantee to give all children in England the best start in life
This report looks at the provision of early years services for children across the country, alongside a warning that many nurseries are at risk of closure, hitting the life chances of some of the most vulnerable children and holding back the economic recovery following lockdown. The Children's Commissioner calls for a new Best Beginnings early years investment plan, ranging from Children and Family hubs to midwives and health visitors, to tackle these problems at the beginning of a child ’s life rather than waiting until crises develop in later years.ReportMore detail (Source: Health Management Specialist Library)

Nurses, George Floyd, Racial Disparities, and the World We'd Like to See
At this unsettling time in the United States and around the world, racism is being confronted head-on by citizens who ' ve simply had enough of the status quo. The knowledge of deep racial disparities in healthcare are nothing new, and the understanding that people of color are treated more poorly within the American healthcare system is also an old story that never seems to change.But now, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and rampant global fear, economic insecurity, and a population tired of lip service to diversity and inclusion, millions are saying, " No more! "We nurses are part of the conversation because we ' re c...

Choosing a Provider When You ’ re Pregnant
When it comes to pregnancy and birth, women have a myriad of decisions to make, from the benign to the super critical. Choosing a suitable care provider definitely falls into the latter.
In the United States, women experiencing low-risk pregnancies can select a midwife or OB GYN to care for themselves and their babies. For some, the decision comes down to factors such as geography, insurance plans, and choice of birth location.
