Midwife referred to the NMC and Prevent by her former NHS Trust for criticising Zionism and genocide.

[Solidarityformidwife]

Please read and consider supporting this Midwife who was referred to the NMC and Prevent by her former NHS Trust employer for criticising Zionism, the occupation of and genocide against Palestinian people. The Trust are being influenced by UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI), a pro-Israeli lobby group.

She deserved to be reported to NMC

Nope

what do you think the harassment was? Referring to Prevent? I think as pp said they have a legal duty to do that if they think someone could be at risk of radicalisation, I don’t suppose that duty would stop if the person left their employment.

you seem quite hung up on the involvement of JLFI - but anyone can make a complaint to NMC - there’s nothing nefarious going on there. If you are a healthcare worker and tweet in support of the Oct 7 attacks people are obviously going to find that disturbing and worthy of report. I know you say the original tweet wasn’t, but it looks a lot like justifying the attacks to me. Also - that might have been tweeted before people knew the full horror of the Oct 7 attack - but if she refused to take it down after the news came out of what had happened, then it definitely seems her views are incompatible with a caring role.

She remains a registered midwife. The Trust have an ongoing duty to make safeguarding reports, yes. They received a complaint from a 3rd party about her and they passed it into the appropriate authorities - PREVENT and NMC.

And particularly when she was cheering for people who slaughtered tiny babies in their mother's arms, for the crime of being Jewish. I hope she gets struck off.

If what were me? If I were her? Well would not post something in support of one of the worst terrorist attacks in recent history for one thing.

But which of you are posting (or agreeing with posts) against the Israeli genocide and occupation now?

You seem to have a very black and white view. I think most people deplore the killing and suffering on both sides.

This is my local hospital and I certainly will not be doing anything in support of this woman. It’s absolutely right that the trust took the action they did.

Quite what she thought she was doing supporting terrorism and promoting an extremely biased, one-sided view of the conflict - particularly given the role she performed - is anybody’s guess. I hope she isn’t employed in a similar role elsewhere.

This isn’t about Jewish women in labour. This is about a person being silenced for calling out atrocities.

If the OP quote doesn't just perfectly encapsulate the current position of many in the NHS maternity service and the attitude towards female patients. "Ladies in Labour - it's not about you, it's about the right of NHS employees to do exactly as they please at all times." No wonder we have one of the worst maternity services in the western world and an appalling record of care in particular for women and mothers from ethnic minorities.

I'm delighted that this woman is no longer employed by Chelsea and Westminster. Perhaps she could offer her much needed professional expertise in Gaza instead of grifting for cash here?

This is not harassment you’re clearly not familiar with the concept
As a midwife she would have to revalidate and agree to NMC code of covers use of social media
I’m ok with NHS making a statutory referral regard his case

You’re using purposefully emotive and provocative language to distract and obvuscate. You do not have any compelling point and are resorting to whatabootery

What does that mean?

What has that to do with the legal case of harrassment of this woman?

It has everything to do with the legal case where she called out the atrocities and the right of others to resist.

There are endless threads on here about midwives not listening and the wish for them to advocate for their patients. This is exactly what she has done on a greater scale. I’m surprised you cannot see it.

The reaching in your replies thread is astounding. How do you begin to know that this midwife did not care for all women/birthing people with respect, advocating for their needs? This is a point made at the end of the story, if you’d bothered to read that far.

Let’s see what the legal case brings. Some would say it is harassment and racist.

Which atrocities? She was cheering on people being murdered. Also that wasn't her job.
Her job is for every minority women in the hospital to feel safe and welcomed in the hospital and during birth. She failed to do that. She failed to follow the NMC code.

She wasn't being advocate of mums. Was she being advocate of Jewish mums at the hospital? Muslims? East Europeans? Asians? No, she was happy Palestinian terrorists were killing jewish children/women/men..
Was she talking about maternity care in Gaza? How to improve it? No, she was talking about jewish people being murdered.

I'm not going to keep answering and giving more publicity to your case, if you are that midwife shame on you. I do hope you never work again as a midwife and you learn your lesson. Goodbye.

Harassment to be reported?

It is not, she was the racist one. I'm sure if she was blonde white blue eyes with a British surname midwife the hospital would have done the same, report her. And you would be receiving the same answers here. Is not that you are Muslim, is that you are racist and stupid.
When the war finish do something productive and go to Gaza and help them to rebuild their maternity care , meanwhile shut up, learn your lesson and stop being political on your social media. Bye

This precisely.

Jackie Walker is an antisemite who was expelled from Labour for it. She’s hardly reliable.

defending Hamas on 8th October was solely about the attack; there had not been any Israeli response yet to criticise. As a Jewish woman I would not feel safe around her.

There isnt a world in which i would sign this.

This midwife is firmly in the wrong...

there had not been any Israeli response yet to criticise

I disagree.

you can’t play it that way. I’m not saying Israel had been inactive in previous years, but it was certainly not genocide. You’re twisting yourself trying to find a narrative where her post means anything other than what it clearly did.

Again, it will be interesting to see what the outcome of the legal case brings. Thank you for your contributions to the thread which have been insightful to read.

So what response by Israel was there on 8 October?
Genuine question, as from my memory there was none.
