The RCM is the only professional organisation and trade union dedicated to serving midwifery and the whole midwifery team.
Our mission is:
• Promoting midwifery, quality maternity services and professional standards
• Supporting our members, individually and collectively
• Influencing on behalf of members and the women and families they care for.
We provide workplace advice and support, professional and clinical guidance and information, and learning opportunities with our broad range of events, conferences and online resources.

The vast majority of the midwifery profession are our members.
Representing the interests of midwives in all four UK countries individually and collectively, we strive to promote excellence, innovation and leadership in the care of childbearing women, the new born and their families, nationally and internationally.
