Stewards
Stewards recruit, represent and support members in the workplace. They are advocates of the RCM and ensure that the members they represent are able to deliver high quality care to women. No two workplaces are the same, and the situations a steward can encounter will differ from those of stewards in other workplaces/trusts/boards.
