Royal College of Midwives (RCM)

The Royal College of Midwives (RCM) is a professional organization in the UK that supports and represents midwives—healthcare professionals who care for women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postnatal period. It advocates for high standards of midwifery practice, provides training and resources, and promotes the rights and well-being of both midwives and the women they serve. The RCM also lobbies for policies that improve maternity services and ensures midwives are well-supported and capable of delivering safe, compassionate care.
