Protect Maternity Services

How to get involved

Here at the RCM we are campaigning hard to protect maternity services. It is a hard job given the intense pressure on public spending in each part of the UK and, in England this is made worse by the upheaval caused by the latest reforms. But you can get involved by letting us know any potential or posed threats to maternity services or staff at our Protect Maternity Services site.

 

Tweet and Like - Let your friends on Twitter and Facebook know about the Protect Maternity Services campaign and ask for their support. If you use Twitter follow us at MidwivesRCM and upload our twibbon and use the #moremidwives message to alert all your followers to need for more midwives. If you have a Facebook profile, follow MidwivesRCM and share the various news and stories on your wall.

 

Thank you for all your support so far. Together we will keep on fighting to protect maternity services.

 


 

More Midwives Petition

The more midwives e-petition has now closed

The RCM’s petition calling on the Government to recruit an extra 5000 midwives into the NHS in England attracted a fantastic 75,000 signatures. This shows a huge level of support for midwives and demand for better maternity services. With such a huge support for the cause, several Members of Parliament have come forward to offer their support and help us to secure a debate in Parliament. The RCM will use this result to continue calling for more midwives and improvements to maternity services throughout the UK.
