An idea from the first #MatExp workshop

Caption: A pledge was made by Bal, Supervisor of midwives to get a blackboard for women to chalk up live feedback - Oct2014

Picture
Caption: Time passed Bal worked away quietly at her pledge encountering a surprising number of challenges. Fast forward ⏭June 2015 it was the hospital open day & Gill & I held a #khftwhoseshoes drop in session. Leaving exhausted I bumped into Bal who said ' I've finally done it! My board will be up next week!'
