Discounted rates for global midwives
The International Confederation of Midwives have partnered with the RCM to ensure that individuals across the world can access MIDIRS resources at a discounted price. We know how difficult international payment can be in some countries so we are offering midwives a way of joining through your education or hospital institutions.
Midwives from specific countries can now get a subscription to MIDIRS for either £10 or £20 annually. Please see the map below for a visual demonstration of our global pricing structure, and read our comprehensive guide on how the initiative works.
For UK and rest-of-world subscription costs (excluding Zone 1 and Zone 2 countries, as listed in blue), see our price list.
