Please see email from RCM and attachments below. This is a new group being set up to take forward the recently published RCM Research Strategy. I'm on the core group as part of my new role and I'd strongly encourage midwifery Forum members to apply. It would be great to get some of us involved from the outset. As you'll see, they want the membership to represent a range of midwives and the 4 UK countries. Do contact me if you'd like more information or would like to discuss what might be entailed. all the best Billie Professor Billie Hunter RCM Professor of Midwifery Cardiff School of Nursing and Midwifery Studies Cardiff University Eastgate House, 35-43 Newport Road Cardiff CF24 0AB Phone: 02920 917816 email: [log in to unmask] -----"A forum for discussion on midwifery and reproductive health research." <[log in to unmask]> wrote: ----- To: [log in to unmask] From: "Sandall, Jane" Sent by: "A forum for discussion on midwifery and reproductive health research."
