International day of the midwife

How will you be celebrating IDM 2025?
IDM takes place on 5 May and is an occasion for every midwife to think about the many others in the profession, to make new contacts within and outside midwifery, and to widen the knowledge of what midwives do for the world.
The RCM is encouraging all RCM branches, Midsocs and members to work together to host local events in their workplaces.
The theme for this year is āMidwives: critical in every crisis.ā
If you have any ideas for your branch/society celebration, in the first instance speak to your branch officers and activists. For further support please contact your RCM organiser who can provide support for your event.
Join us for our IDM webinar!
Midwives: Critical in every crisis
Midwives play an essential role in supporting women every day. In this webinar, we explore the experiences of two midwives as they share their insights from working in Sudan and a war-torn region of Ukraine.
