RCM Purpose statement
• Promoting midwifery, quality maternity services and professional standards
• Supporting our members, individually and collectively
• Influencing on behalf of members and the women and families they care for.
The Royal College of Midwives is the voice of midwifery. We are the UK’s only trade union and professional organisation led by midwives for midwives. The vast majority of the midwifery profession are our members.
The RCM promotes midwifery, quality maternity services and professional standards. We support and represent our members individually and collectively in all four UK countries. We influence on behalf of our members and for the interests of the women and families for which they care.
Joining gives you the protection and backing of a first-class trade union - support from midwives to midwives. Belonging advances your professional practice and supports our work for women in the UK and worldwide.
