We recently shared our concerns regarding the downgrading of midwife-led services and the soaring medical intervention rates during childbirth in the UK. We joined others to form a collective with the aim of enhancing safe, respectful maternity care that is evidence-based and personalised. The first action we are taking is to host a seminar (see below), and all are welcome. We will also be sharing a newsletter, link to the Expression of Interest form is in our bio.
