The Ockenden review in 20225 noted that cerebral palsy and brain damage from hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy can result from substandard maternity care and that it may take “some years” before a diagnosis is made. Investing to expand I often write about cheap fixes for healthcare, but fixing maternity care will cost money. Expanding recruitment to senior healthcare support worker apprenticeships in maternity care19 would increase support staff and allow midwives to focus on delivering care. Let’s invest in the future of maternity care: its workforce, teamwork, support for women, and NHS estates.

It should be noted that Rihanna planned to attend this year’s Met Gala, but towards the end of the red carpet, People Magazine confirmed that Rihanna canceled her appearance at the last minute because she has the flu. Zendaya was also one of the Met Gala co-chairs this year, and her stylist Law Roach decided that Zendaya needed two looks for the carpet, and that she needed to truly walk the carpet twice. This was John Galliano pulling from his own archives and creating a new piece based off of a 1999 look he did for Dior. Zendaya’s second look – the all-black gown – was a vintage Givenchy, and another look from Galliano’s archives. It’s sort of cool that several women marched straight to John Galliano, btw.

Picture: Artur Widak/Anadolu Agency via Getty ImagesGoogle’s latest core algorithm update has dealt yet another blow to publishers striving to improve their search visibility. Sistrix’s Visibility Index measures how successful a website is in Google search results, assigning higher scores to sites that rank better in search results. While Google core updates are nothing new and happen at least once a year, the update launched on 6 March 2024 was, according to SEO experts at Yoast, one of Google's biggest core algorithm updates yet. CloseUnlike the previous core update of late 2023, which particularly hit publishers with a traditional focus on scale often built with the aid of SEO-explainer-style articles, this update has negatively impacted both newer and more traditional news names. In contrast to the last core update, some of the UK’s largest newsbrands by audience size and visibility saw significant percentage shifts in visibility level as a result of this update.
