About #IDM2021
Join the Clinical Skills Development Service (CSDS) in celebrating the International Day of the Midwife! This year's #IDM2021 will include: a podcast launch, a panel discussion about midwifery around the world, and interactive demonstrations of how simulation can be used in maternity care training and education.
Due to limited capacity and COVID-19 guidelines, in-person places were limited. We divided the day into two sessions- a panel discussion and interactive demonstrations.
