Welcome to the Midlands Maternity & Midwifery Online Festival!
With 600,000 babies born each year, midwives aren’t about to let COVID-19 stop them in their tracks.
We might not be able to come together in Leicester to celebrate and share knowledge, to network and recharge our batteries, but we’ve got the next best thing.
The Midlands Maternity and Midwifery Festival will be live streamed on this page on Tuesday 14 July. A day of leadership, education and clinical updates to keep you abreast of latest developments and innovations at the click of a mouse.
