Regional Midwifery Forum

 

NHS Logo

 
 
 

 

A Regional Midwifery Forum has been set up within the West Midlands.

The main remit of the group is to make regional midwifery responses and recommendations following robust critical review, analysis and discussion of current guidance, documents, innovations and evidence that shape maternity care.

Following discussions with regional Heads of Midwifery and the Local Supervisory Midwifery Officer invitations for representatives from each Trust were sent to all Heads of Midwifery by the coordinators: Pat McGeown, Head of Midwifery, Perinatal Institute : see the invite letter.

Pat McGeown qualified as a midwife in 1987 and practiced midwifery in a variety of roles in Coventry for 13 years. Prior to her current appointment with the Institute she was a Lecturer-Practitioner with Coventry University. She has been a Supervisor of Midwives since 1997 and maintains links with both the university and maternity unit in Coventry to continue her supervisory and midwifery practice.

There are seventeen Trusts with maternity units in the West Midlands. We have named representatives from sixteen. The unit that is unable to send a representative has made arrangements to be informed of all developments and decisions. Additionally, each of the universities that serve the region have a named representative. The Regional Heads of Midwifery will also be kept updated.
