Access to up-to-date, evidence-based information is essential for midwives to provide high-quality care, stay informed on the latest research, and continuously improve their practice to better support women, newborns, and families. That’s why the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) has partnered with the Royal College of Midwives (RCM) and Midwives Information & Resource Service (MIDIRS) to offer midwives around the world access to MIDIRS resources at discounted prices when subscribing through their education or hospital institution, or midwifery association.
Recognising the challenges midwives in some countries face with international payments, MIDIRS has made this offer more accessible through institutional subscriptions, ensuring midwives worldwide can benefit from this invaluable resource.
