Inspiring and invigorating tomorrow’s midwives today! #rcmconf
13 Nov 2012
Broadcast from Brighton

Now in its 22nd year, The RCM Student Midwives’
Conference is uniquely led by student midwives for
student midwives
. Each year, it brings together students from universities across the UK and beyond to discuss and explore the bigger picture of midwifery today and for the future.

Here student midwives are inspired by their profession’s leaders to become future innovators developing new evidence-based models of care.

This year’s conference will expose delegates to the
experience of role models on their journeys in delivering women-centred care. They will also be inspired to develop maternity practice embracing technological solutions.

RCM Posters:

A number of research and best practice posters, presented by midwives from all over the UK, are available to view here.
