Following the launch of the RCM’s Digital Midwives Network Forum, Karen Gray talks us through the importance of connecting digital midwives with each other.

Ahead of this year’s Scottish Midwifery Leadership conference, Jaki Lambert, the RCM’s Director for Scotland, predicts an incoming storm for midwifery – and the steps that need to be taken so that we not only weather it, but come through it stronger.

As a midwife, Sarah’s journey has always been anchored in the belief that maternity care should be compassionate, inclusive, and culturally safe for everyone. This year’s theme: Standing Firm in Pride and Power resonates deeply with her work because it is not only about the clinical support midwives provide; it’s about dismantling inequities, honouring lived experiences, and reshaping systems that have historically failed Black and Brown women and birthing people.
