Wessex Women and Girls Network Webinar - Midwifery: making a difference to maternal mental health

Date: Wednesday 6 May 2026

Time: 12 - 1pm

Location: Online

Join us for a webinar bringing together midwives and maternal‑health advocates to explore two critical topics: safe and evidence‑based medication use in pregnancy, and the persistent disparities that shape maternal outcomes. In this session, we will dig into the science, the stories, and the systemic factors that influence the care people receive, and how we can drive meaningful change in our own practice.

During this webinar, we aim to explore:

1. Key principles of safe, evidence-based medication use during pregnancy.
2. Drivers of maternal health disparities and their impact on patient outcomes.
3. Strategies that midwives can use to promote equitable, person‑centred care across diverse populations.
