Who We Are

The former Independent Midwives Assosiation has recently become Independent Midwives UK, an Industrial and Provident Society. We continue to pursue commercial insurance in order that Independent Midwives can continue to practise outside the NHS. Read about our Campaign and the amazing support we have had from the our past and current clients, the public, other organisations, public servants and celebrities

Although entering a new phase, the organisation retains the ideals and philosophies of the original Independent Midwives Association. The Independent Midwives Association was originally founded by a group of independent midwives in July 1985 and continues to exist in the new format for the dissemination of information about, and support for, Independent Midwives.

We continue to lobby for the traditional role of the midwife by:

Providing a central source for enquires, data, information, reports etc.
Presenting on Independent Midwifery
Holding regular meetings for members
Running workshops for midwives interested in setting-up in independent practice.

Contact individual members for more information on individual practices or general midwifery enquiries.
