MIDIRS means: enabling midwives to give evidence based thoughtful care
Lesley Page
Professor of Midwifery
Discovering MIDIRS as a junior midwife was so exciting and empowering – so much information, so easily read, all in the one place. Not only that, but the MIDIRS staff would undertake a literature search for you if you needed it!
Helen Cheyne
RCM Professor of Midwifery
I recently wrote an essay on obesity, and some of my research that I found helpful I retrieved from MIDIRS journals. Needless to say it certainly paid off as I received a mark of 90%... thank you, MIDIRS!
Nicola Landeg
2nd year Student Midwife at Cardiff University
