Iolanthe Midwifery Trust

Who we are

The Iolanthe Midwifery Trust aims to promote and improve the care of mothers, babies and families through an annual awards prgramme in support of midwifery education, practice and research.  

In order for midwives to offer the very best care they need to develop innovative practice, progress their professional education and conduct research. This is made possible through the work of the Iolanthe Midwifery Trust. For many midwives, the Iolanthe Midwifery Trust has transformed their lives, supporting them in achieving their dreams and aspirations. Over 30 years, the Iolanthe Midwifery Trust has helped nearly 400 midwives develop and broaden their skills and knowledge through bursaries, fellowships and special awards.
