MIDIRS Information

The Midwives Information and Resource Service is a globally respected provider of evidence-based resources to support maternity health care professionals, students, and allied health professionals in their development. Founded in the 1980s, we are the world's largest midwifery-specific database and the producers of internationally renowned quarterly journal MIDIRS Midwifery Digest. In 2019, we became part of the Royal College of Midwives. Our mission is to be at the forefront, leading international information for pregnancy, childbirth and infancy. We endeavour to share this information widely, to assist in the global improvement of maternity care. We champion evidence-based practice, helping health care professionals to create, to distribute and to use it to improve maternity services.
