The Maternity Support Worker Conference - Birmingham City University

Birmingham City University has supported the development of Maternity Support Workers (MSW) nationally for over 8 Years. We believe that the MSW role is an essential part of the ever-evolving healthcare workforce, and we are excited to see how the role develops in the future. Following on from the successful MSW conference launch at BCU last year, we are excited to host the second ever Maternity Support Worker Conference here again at Birmingham City University.

Inclusivity is key and the conference is aimed at all those wanting to deepen their understanding about the MSW role, as well as celebrate the value of the role within Maternity services including MSW’s, Student Midwives, Midwives, Assistant Practitioners, Clinical Educators and Midwifery leaders. Join us to partake in sessions delivered by a variety of healthcare professionals who have a wealth of experience and knowledge of the MSW role.

This unique conference is a true reflection of our commitment to the development and sustainability of the MSW role.
