ARM 50th Anniversary Conference

Midwifery Must Matter!

Honouring our past to shape our future

20th June, 2026

University College, London

Midwifery Must Matter

About the conference

At a time when UK maternity services face ongoing pressures, including midwifery workforce shortages, stress on services, and concerns about safe, woman-centred care, ARM’s 50th anniversary conference brings midwives and mothers together to celebrate our values and display our commitment to meaningful change.

Our conference will give you a fantastic opportunity to make connections with other like-minded people, take inspiration from ARM’s past and reflect on ideas to address the current threats to midwifery care and improve families’ experiences of birth. You will explore how we can better support women to achieve the birth they want including the importance of physiological birth to achieve safer outcomes. Surrounded by thoughtful and supportive colleagues, we expect you to come away with a more hopeful vision for the future, feeling more confident and positive about how you can make a difference, both individually and collectively – because Midwifery Must Matter! Now more than ever.
