Midwifery educators have a truly unique role, blending the worlds of professional practice and academia. Balancing midwifery expertise with the demands of education can be tricky, especially with workforce shortages, shifting policies, and financial pressures. That’s why, during this Heart Unions week, we’re excited to highlight the benefits of joint trade union membership and launch a refreshed membership offer with the Royal College of Midwives (RCM) working with both the University and College Union (UCU) and the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS).
