The last of the series, episode 13 of Maternity and Midwifery Hour focused on COVID-19 and Black Lives Matter combined to highlight issues around inequalities impacting the BAME population and healthcare professionals alike.
This episode of the Maternity & Midwifery Hour – proudly supported by MATFLIX – focused on BAME perspectives from the front line.

In this special Maternity & Midwifery Hour, Sue, Lola and Mala provide up-to-date information and discussion on how COVID-19 has affected midwifery practice for this group and for them as individuals, reflecting on the challenges of setting up and working in a COVID-19 hub and key lessons for a more equal future.
