Overview

Join us for an insightful symposium exploring theĀ future of maternity care in the context of NHS England’s 10-Year Plan and the ongoing digital transformation shaping healthcare. This event will bring together leaders and innovators from across the four nations of the UK, with a focus on how midwifery leadership is driving digital innovation to enhance maternity services.

Through expert discussions, case studies, and collaborative sessions, we will examine:

  • The impact of digital technologies on maternity care delivery.
  • Strategies for implementing the NHS 10-Year Plan within maternity services.

This is a unique opportunity to engage with midwifery leaders, policy makers, and digital health experts who are shaping the future of maternity care.
