In this episode, Gemma catches up with the RCM’s CEO Gill Walton to hear more about what the RCM is currently doing for its members and all the key work that’s happening.

Gemma is also joined by Rosemary Idiaghe a Consultant Midwife for midwife-led care who discusses her career to date and her upcoming session on improving outcomes for Black, Asian and minority ethic women at the RCM’s Conference.

Helen Rogers RCM’s Director for Wales and one of the 2021 RCM conference curators speaks to Gemma about the upcoming conference programme highlights that are not to be missed.

The RCM’s Activist conference took place this week and Gemma meets midwife and RCM Activist Zoe Meneilly from Northern Ireland who has some great advice about the role and tips on how to reinvigorate your local branch.
