Independent Midwives Association
PO Box 539
Abingdon
OX14 9DF
Tel: 0845 4600 105
Web: www.independentmidwives.org.uk
The Independent Midwives Association exists for the dissemination of information about, and support for, independent midwives, and to lobby for the traditional role of the midwife.
Independent midwives are fully qualified midwives who, in order to practice the midwife's role to its fullest extent, have chosen to work outside the NHS in a self employed capacity, although they support its aims and ideals. The midwife's role encompasses the care of women during pregnancy, birth and afterwards.
These aims are supported in the following ways:
- By providing a central source for enquires, data, information, reports etc.
- By holding regular meetings for members.
- By running workshops for midwives interested in setting up in independent practice.
- By giving talks about independent practice to interested parties.
The authors and editors of this article are employed to create accurate and up to date content reflecting reliable research evidence, guidance and best clinical practice. They are free from any commercial conflicts of interest. Find out more about updating.
