Happy International Day of the Midwife 2021

Today (Wednesday 5 May) we’re marking International Day of the Midwife and thanking our midwives and maternity support workers for their hard work, compassion and dedication. It's undoubtedly been a year like no other, as the challenge of providing outstanding care to women and their families has been made all the more difficult by the complexities of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a special video Marion Harris, our Chief Officer for Nursing and Midwifery, pays tribute to our wonderful midwives and maternity support workers, and thanks them for rising to that challenge over the past year. You can watch Marion's video here.

We’ll be sharing more about our midwives on our social media channels throughout the day so head over to our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages and leave your own tribute.

To all the midwives at BWC and across the world – thank you for everything and we hope you have a fantastic day.
