Save the Midwife: protecting women’s rights with better midwifery regulation

by | 5 Jun, 2017 | Campaign | 0 comments

Representatives from ARM, AIMS and other key birth organisations came together to plan the next steps of the #savethemidwife campaign. The overwhelming emotion was unity; a birth movement of the 21st century, one that brings together women, midwives and birth organisations. Women’s birth rights need protecting from the ground up. Choice must be protected both within and outside of the NHS. Midwives are with woman. Midwives are the experts of normal birth and need to be the leaders of their own profession. It is vital that those who are responsible for the safety of mothers and babies actually understand the issues women face. The NMC does not do this.

Key Priorities

⇒ User and Midwifery Representation
⇒ Regulation and Legislation
⇒ Supervision and Safety
⇒ Communication and Engagement
