Medical Womens Federation

Who we are

The Medical Women's Federation (MWF) is a national, charitable organisation that is the voice of women doctors on health, healthcare and the medical professions. The MWF was founded in 1917 and is today one of the largest and most influential bodies of women doctors in the UK.

MWF consistently works to change discriminatory attitudes and practices. MWF provides a unique network of women doctors in all branches of the profession, and at all stages from medical students to senior consultants. We aim to achieve real equity in the medical professions by providing practical, personal help from members who know the hurdles and have overcome them.
