You’ve got your place
Here’s what joining the RCM means from day one.
Whether you’re looking to learn something new, build your confidence, develop your skills, connect with others who understand your experience, or know someone has your back, your RCM membership is here to support you today and throughout your future in midwifery.
A workforce under pressure
We asked our members about staffing levels, workload and working hours during the week of 1-7 June 2026. More than 3,500 maternity staff responded – and the results showed that 93% felt unsafe staffing levels affected the quality of care they could provide. The survey results show a clear picture of the pressures facing our members and maternity services across the UK.
