Cher is a maternity Care Assistant working in the community in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. As an active RCM workplace steward and chair of our local Branch, she fights hard for RCM members to ensure care is safe for Staff and all service users. The role of the Maternity Care Assistant is something that she takes great pride in and was very privileged to be on the first training cohort in Scotland at RGU. One of my goals is to see an apprenticeship route for the MCA in to midwifery. As a new Board member she promises to bring the same energy and enthusiasm to the board making sure that the RCM reflects it members in the four corners of the UK.
