Welcome to the Midwifery Society!

Hello! Welcome to your midwifery society, from all of us on the committee!

Being a student midwife is a unique experience, and we aim to bring together midwifery students from across all cohorts to build a huge support network and help you make the most of your student midwife experience here at DMU! We want to continue to provide you with amazing educational events alongside fun social events where we can all get to know each other. Any ideas for events or questions please contact the committee or come and find us face-to-face, we will be happy to help!
