UK Midwifery Regulators

UK midwifery regulators are organizations responsible for overseeing the standards and practice of midwives, ensuring safe and professional care. The main regulator is the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), which licenses midwives, sets ethical guidelines, and maintains public safety. They also handle disciplinary actions if standards are not met. These regulators work to protect mothers and babies by ensuring midwives are well-trained, competent, and adhere to best practices. Their role is essential in maintaining trust and high-quality care within maternity services across the UK.
