Birthing And Maternity Education Online

The Birthing And Maternity Education Online Academy seeks better maternity outcomes for women, babies and their families, with a particular focus on diverse and vulnerable communities.

The Academy’s origins and objectives can be traced to a collaboration on a series of well-received live events and webinars, delivered before and during the pandemic with the exceptional midwifery team at Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust. This partnership continues and remains integral to our work. At the same time, the Academy has gone on to forge new partnerships and alliances and continues to do so.

Subject expertise comes via a mix of maternity, medical, academic, cultural, communal, third sector governmental, regulatory and other professional sources to name just a few. The voice, viewpoint and experience of the mothers, babies and families is central to everything we do.

Our ever-expanding programme includes online courses, webinars, podcasts, live and on-demand video lectures, and documentaries, all of which are aimed at improving maternity outcomes for women, babies, and their families, with particular attention paid to issues faced by diverse and vulnerable communities.

Participation in the Academy's activities funds bursaries, awards, research opportunities, education, equipment, innovation, and essential information published in different languages, all in support of our core mission.

We welcome you to join our community and attend our upcoming events. If you have any questions or just want to say hello, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Our work is grounded in four pillars: Education, Impact, Purpose, and Community.
