Beyond the heart: a midwifery perspective

The UK Maternal Cardiology Society (UKMCS) collaborated with the RCM to bring this webinar for midwives which was part of UKMCS’ annual Education Day meeting. You will hear from speakers about the experiences and impact of cardiac disease in pregnancy and postpartum and discuss together how midwives can best support women with heart disease through childbirth.
