The RCM Podcast: Maternity Support workers
Maternity Support Workers (MSWs) and Maternity Care Assistants (MCA's) are vital members of the maternity team. They provide support not only to midwives, but to women and their families which is often specialist support such as parenting classes ahead of a baby being born, or specialist breastfeeding support.
In this episode, Gemma dives right into their world to learn more about what they do day to day and what drives them to do it. Catching up with RCM members from Greater Manchester, Scotland, and Norfolk who all have unique and inspiring stories to tell, this episode is not to be missed.
