Surrogacy: What do midwives need to know
The RCM is hosting this webinar to ensure midwives and MSWs are aware of the current framework around surrogacy in the UK, and proposed changes, to enable them to provide appropriate care and support.
Louisa Ghevaert will give an overview of the legal framework around surrogacy, past, present and future, using her wealth of experience in fertility and family law to provide context for the maternity workforce, she will be joined by Sarah Jones. Sarah will share her unique journey, having been a surrogate five times herself, and continues to assist surrogates and intended parents with all aspects of their surrogacy journey through the work carried out at Surrogacy UK.
