International Day of the Midwife 5th May 2023

On Friday 5th May midwives across the world will be celebrating International Day of the Midwife 2023.

This time of celebration honours the efforts of midwives and their associations to action critical evidence like the State of the World’s Midwifery (SoWMy) 2021 towards meaningful change for our profession and the women and families we care for.

We hope that midwives, maternity support workers and student midwives across the globe celebrate in unison.

What we are planning at ABUHB Maternity Services to celebrate this event:

 

  • The hospital will be lit up in pink and blue

 

  • We will also be hosting a cake off, with the best cake receiving a prize from the Royal College of Midwives. 

 

  • We have asked for women and pregnant people to nominate a midwife who ave supported them through their pregnancy journey.  Certificates will be given to those nominated.

 

  • Hats have been knitted and donated with the RCM logo, and these will be given to babies born on the day.
