Anti D -An interview with Dr Sara Wickham

On this episode we talk to Dr Sara Wickham, a midwife,
best-selling author, speaker and researcher. Sara is the Director
of the Birth Information Project. She divides her time between
speaking, writing, facilitating online courses, creating
resources, and undertaking consultancy services for midwifery and
health-related organisations around the world. 


Today we are discussing all things Anti D. 


We delve into the founding history of Anti d – who discovered it,
how it's made, what monkeys have got to do with Anti-D, the
limitations in the research, and where we are at in current
maternity practice. It's a jam-packed show!


Plus Rachel and Sara discuss their, let's say unusual, hobby of
being guideline detectives! 


Sara's passion is "Getting good information out so women and
families know what the evidence is and know what they want to
do." 


This episode is both wonderfully informative and full of
discoveries you've probably never heard before and of course some
laughter along the way!
