The Royal College of Midwives (RCM) is calling for more specialist midwives in every trust and health board so that every woman gets the high-quality care and support they need throughout their pregnancy. The RCM is also calling on healthcare professionals and commissioners to work together to reduce the significantly higher mortality rates among black and minority ethnic women during pregnancy and childbirth. The call comes as the sixth MBRRACE-UK ‘Saving Lives, Improving Mothers’ Care report was published.
