Your baby needs you to support the Midwives of the future

Lovely people of Mumsnet

YOUR BABY NEEDS YOU to support the Midwives of the future. Midwives are responsible for the life of mother and baby.

The NHS trains hundreds of student Midwives every year. Due to the funding changes within the NHS, some trusts are implementing recruitment freezes. This means that students qualifying are not able to get Midwifery roles and are having to find jobs in other industries. This is a complete waste of NHS money and 3 years of dedicated training.

Please help us to put pressure on the government to secure funding for Newly Qualified Midwifery posts. This is a really important cause. The lack of Midwives is a real and dangerous issue.

Please help to show how important this issue is by sharing/liking our facebook page www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/Your-baby-needs-you-to-show-the-government-we-need-more-Midwives/186544451381390 and signing our online petition www.petitiononline.co.uk/petition/your-baby-needs-you-we-need-more-midwives/2519

Also done. After the discussion the other day about pain relief and understaffed labour wards, this is obviously a serious issue.
