RCM Lothian Branch

🌈Your Lothian branch thank all midwives for all you do. Take care of yourselves as you care for others. Remember your reps are always here for you too 🌈

From antenatal appointments to home births, we know women in our care have lots of questions. This useful printable poster provides little tip bits of advice to remind mothers what we are doing to support them. Download here: bit.ly/2UdoGbr #midwives2020

If you have not heard from the RCM team recently, you may need to call RCM connect to update your contact details with us.

The RCM Lothian reps are working hard on behalf of our community midwife members to support you as the homebirth service is resumed. If you have any concerns or questions please contact your local RCM reps through RCM Connect on 0300 303 0444.
