President's Message

March 2026 update

BMFMS Member Webinars 

 

As I’m sure you will remember from last year, we asked our members what we could provide in addition to the annual conference. To this end we have set up a programme of webinars on key topics. With particular thanks to Dr Fionnuala Mone for devising the programme and gathering the speakers.  

 

The webinars will be free to BMFMS members. They will be held monthly from May-December starting at 5.30pm. The format will be a 20–30-minute presentation followed by a Q and A session of approximately ten minutes. Please let us know if there are any key topics that you would like covered in the future.

Other news 

 

BMFMS continues to comment on National Guidance by which we hope to have an impact on the shape of obstetric services. We have endorsed the BAPM Framework for Practice on Neonatal Mortality Governance and Decrimininalisation of Abortion. 

 

We had a very successful Away Day in November 2025, where we made a plan for the society moving forward. I would like to thank my fellow officers Dr Melissa Whitworth and Dr Surabhi Nanda for their hard work for the society and of course all the committee members. We are also very well supported by Isabelle Robinson who continues to work for the society under the umbrella of the RCOG.
