The Hansy Josovic Maternity Trust (HJMT) is happy to announce
that Mrs. Yael White has been appointed as its new Maternity
Development Worker. This post was created by Mrs. Rachel
Klein to further her longstanding involvement in the care of
mothers and babies, with funding from SureStart and SRB6 as
part of their ongoing commitment to improving services for
the community.
Mrs. White will be working closely with the North London
kehilla and with hospital and other health personnel
in seeking to increase the availability of maternity advocacy
provision and improve postnatal core.
Currently there are two shomer Shabbos advocates
available at the Homerton Hospital: Mrs. M. Rabinovitz and
Mrs. S. Friedman. They can be contacted either at the
advocacy office on 0208 510 7179, where they will always try
to respond to messages as quickly as possible; or they can be
seen at the Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning antenatal
clinic. The aim is to work towards providing a similar
service at other hospitals chosen by the kehilla.
Mrs. White is eager to hear from ladies in the community who
would like to share with her any recent maternity experiences
(whether positive or negative). This will enable her to get a
clearer picture of what specific areas ladies would like to
see improved. The number to reach her on or to leave a
message is 0208 510 6503; or messages can be left with Mrs.
R. Klein on 0208 806 4490. Any call will of course be treated
in the strictest confidence.
