Dear All,
I remember this being part of the initial furore at the time of the big changes at the NMC. If I am remembering rightly it took a lot to get the one midwife represented as it was removed ?from statute that it was even necessary. I am sure someone else might remember better than me.
I would certainly be up for helping in anyway with a campaign/petition to lobby for change.
Best wishes,

Thanks to the RCM for alerting us to this.Here's the NMC statement on the new appointments, which sees the (delayed) departure of the current midwife Council Member in the Autumn: https://www.nmc.org.uk/news/news-and-updates/nmc-council-appointments-2020/
Good questions, Billy. I have a few more. Do we have any 'NMC watchers' amongst us who can tell us how unusual the current situation is, ie of a retiring midwife Council Member not being replaced? And since when has there been no requirement for the Council to include a midwife?Given that other Council members are up for replacement in Spring 2021, is the half-year absence of a midwife on the Council a huge problem, or is it better to focus efforts on (a) understanding why it might not always be possible for a midwife to take up one of the 6 places for professionals on the Council, and (b) how the profession might ensure that there are good candidates put forward for the role in 2021?
