Exeter RCM branch #parkrun #internationaldayofthemidwife24 #IDM2024 enjoyed a run/walk and a lovely cream tea. Thanks all that came and celebrated Royal College of Midwives 💙

Our activists are the backbone of the RCM. Without these individuals who are willing to give their time & energies the RCM would struggle to provide a service at the point of need. Have you considered becoming an RCM activist? Contact your local branch for more information.

A focus of meetings this week has been around work of trade unions and employee relations, alongside caring for staff - but the results of this snap poll demonstrate how unsustainable current models across UK are. 45% Scottish Midwives worked additional unpaid hours in one week.

During one week in March, the people who responded to our poll work an extra 136,834 unpaid hours to keep services running safely.

The results from our snap poll are staggering and show a clearly unsustainable model running on compassion buff.ly/3UdQJ9U

“It’s completely unacceptable that our hardworking members are once again in limbo about their pay. The pay rise for another year running is overdue and this will only serve to further erode the morale of midwives and MSWs' says RCM's Gill Walton
