Birthrate plus attend ICM congress in Portugal

What a week the Birthrate Plus® team had at the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) 34th Triennial Congress in Portugal.

Open discussions, friendly chats, real talk, problem solving, insight sharing and scoping future opportunities.

Our CEO Sally Ashton-May MBE was on stage for the final day presenting the abstract ‘How many midwives are enough? – Determining safe and optimum staffing levels in maternity services’. A fantastic opportunity to present in front of our international colleagues and share our work supporting maternity services to plan safe, effective and sustainable staffing.

A huge thank you to everyone who connected with us at our stand, and gave their time to discuss maternity staffing pressures and workforce needs.

Lots of food for thought and exciting projects in the pipeline – more to follow on this!
