I have the pleasure of working closely with @Fi_Gibb and if you’re feeling uninspired, I recommend reading this overview of her journey in midwifery so far. Great advice, from a true midwifery leader. #midwiferycareers #leadership @midwivesRCM

We’ve heard member concerns that there won’t be enough jobs for midwives graduating this year. We’re gathering evidence to scope the issue across UK. Final yr students, we need to hear from you!

Thinking of all the midwives doing #parkrun for #IDM2025 yesterday. I did my 5K for @MidwivesRCM on a Devon beach yesterday morning bur had no signal to upload! I promise I did it 😀

Join us online at 7pm tonight, as I welcome the fantastic @wandathemidwife and Shirley Strong to celebrate their fantastic work in aid of the #IDM2025 celebrations ongoing this week!

Day 1 of #RCMconf2025 has been filled with energy, positivity and promise! I’m so grateful to be able to spend a full two days connecting with so many members passionate about maternity services, including my lovely @MidwivesRCM colleagues from across the UK. Bring on Day 2!

I will be doing #Parkrun on Sat 10th May this year, to celebrate #InternationalDayoftheMidwife. Are you joining me? Visit parkrun.org.uk to find your local park run, and share with your fellow midwives, students and MSWs! @MidwivesRCM @parkrunUK

For anyone that works in maternity services, in order to improve your care for anyone with a hidden, or visible, disability, this is not one to miss! It’s going to be an impactful and thought-provoking webinar.

I’d also like to add a special thank you to midwife Bella and 3rd year student Sam from @KingsCollegeLon for impeccable practice that will be shared with all of our members in a brand new module coming soon!
