We had another successful day at the @MidwiferyForum held on Tuesday 5 February at the Millennium Gloucester hotel, Kensington, London; talking to midwives, students and educators about the #platelet disorder #NAIT and how bleeding into major organs #ICH can affect unborn/newborn #babies causing death or lifelong disabilities.
