Who we are
The East of England Midwifery Research Network was established in 2023 by a group of midwives across Norfolk and Cambridgeshire, who recognised the need for and opportunities that could come from stronger regional connections among midwives and colleagues working in perinatal settings across the East.
Meet the network
As you explore the profiles of our members, read our midwifery blog posts and check out our events, you will see that we come with a range of backgrounds and interests. What we have in common is a commitment to supporting one another to have a meaningful impact through midwifery research work, ultimately to positively impact the perinatal outcomes of women, birthing people and families.
