Birthrites provide annual awards, coinciding with the
celebration of National Caesarean Awareness day.
These are presented to a Midwife, Obstetrician and Doula
who have provided excellent service in evidence-based,
woman-centred maternity care.

It is our chance to recognise these people who make
such a difference to our birthing experiences.

Nominations can be received by anyone who has used one of the above services in the last twelve months.
