The weekend papers were full of stories about the impact of COVID-19 on maternity services around the UK. With a number of labour wards being closed to become COVID-19 treatment centres, some midwives with nurse training being re-assigned to general nursing duties and the toll of self isolation and illness, stress levels amongst midwives are undoubtedly higher than ever.
At times like these, it’s so important that healthcare professionals have access to the latest and most accurate flow of information to ensure best practice and to safeguard their own wellbeing.
This is your chance to hear the latest thinking and get your questions answered.
