join the imuk family

Choice in birth isn’t something that any of us should take for granted.  By joining IMUK, you are supporting vital work to ensure that independent midwifery, and the standard of care it represents, remains as an option for future generations of midwives and women.

For independent practitioners the benefits are many; a listing on IMUK’s ‘find a midwife directory’,
the chance to network and discuss both general and clinical issues with your independent
colleagues, access to PII (When available) and discounted IMUK workshops and events.  IMUK is a
friendly and supportive organisation standing with independent midwives as they walk with the
women in their care.

all midwives are welcome

Our Associate category allows NHS / private midwives to find our more about independent practice and to network with their independent colleagues via our discussion forums as well as giving you access to discounted workshops and events.

students

Student midwives are the future of our profession.  By joining IMUK students are helping to protect one of the cornerstones of their profession and the chance to work as a self-employed practitioner at any point in your career.  As well as discounted membership, workshops and events, student members are able to network with experienced independent midwives to improve their clinical knowledge and aid their studies.

we all need friends

If you’ve benefitted from the care and experience of an independent midwife then perhaps you know better than anyone why we need to safeguard their care.  If you’re not a midwife but want to support our work, become a Friend of IMUK and stay in touch!
