From Birthrights twitter today : Understand @PennineAcuteNHS @BSUH_maternity @sarahnoble02 (South Warks) @NHSHomerton planning to ramp up homebirth services in response to increased demand. Good to see services responding to where women feel safe - good for infection control too? @MidwivesRCM #CovidMaternity
Although- some bright spark has commented as to offering the at home CTG monitoring!!! it's his business in the Netherlands... we need to quash that.
basically my understanding is that IM's have had the go ahead to support NHS, will have emergency indemnity once the emergency legislation is passed end of March, but it is up to the individual trusts to implement, this means honourary/bank contracts etc. So the same process as for the likes of me going back in. RCM has also started to respond along with the NMC senior midwifery advisor regarding the IM situation, think they're being mobilised to facilitate this too.
Hope this helps a bit. we can learn from these forward thinkers outline in the tweet and disseminate?
I for one, would prefer to go in and help community to keep women at home as much as poss.
ThanksClaire Feeley

It would be great to work with the RCM on this - has anyone got good contacts with the RCM professional department?
Claire, can you advise everyone how the IMEs can contribute?
All the best
