RCM And INMO Launch International Partnership

The Royal College of Midwives (RCM) and the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) have launched their international partnership.

The 'Memorandum of Mutual Co-operation' between the two unions is aimed at Brexit-proofing midwifery learning and practice.

The document was officially signed by RCM Chief Executive Officer Gill Walton, INMO general secretary Phil Ni Sheaghdh and IMNO president Martina Harkin-Kelly. RCM president Kathryn Gutteridge was due to sign the document but couldn't due to illness, so RCM board chair Julie Richards stood in for her.

The partnership between the RCM and INMO is the first of its kind across borders and the Irish sea.

In the context of Brexit it will strengthen the ability of midwives to practise and educate regardless of the outcome of Brexit negotiations.

As a result of the new partnership Irish midwives will have full access to the RCM's i-learn and i-folio, as well as the RCM library and other educational resources.

Both organisations have also committed to defining employment assistance to members working in the country of the other ie INMO – Ireland, RCM – UK.

They will also work together to identify areas for common approaches to influence on behalf of their members whether nationally or internationally.

There will also be the opportunity to host joint events and conferences for midwives and MSWs across Ireland and Northern Ireland, as well as explore and provide appropriate assistance on the professional development needs of midwife members on an agreed basis.
