The University of Salford Midwifery Society Magazine Semester 3

Hello and welcome to the second edition of our society magazine!
This year as a society we have tried our best to be as engaging as possible
even in these strange times of lockdown and restrictions. We have managed to
hold our first annual awards (which we hope to do again!), the first issue of the
magazine was released and was a great success, we’ve had meditation sessions
led by our well-being officer Nicole Rajan-Brown online, we faciliated an online
aromatherapy for childbirth course as an RCM accredited module, which had
great feedback and finally the bereavement workshop ‘Growing in confidence’.
Thank you all for filling out feedback forms your ideas will be taken forward into
future events! We started this year with so many plans for the society which had
to be changed due to COVID 19, but we are so proud of what we have achieved
and how you as members have supported us.
It is now time - believe it or not - to elect new committee members for the
upcoming academic year, this is usually done early to allow a good handover and
ensure everyone is ready. If you are interested in becoming a committee member,
please contact either of the co-chairs with an expression of interest.
As this is the last time, we will write to you as co-chairs we wanted to wish you
all the best of luck with your continued studies and good luck and best wishes to
all the third-year student midwives who will qualify this year. We hope you have a
happy, safe, and fulfilling career!
Finally, just to say it has been a whirlwind of a year and whether you had just
started in first year - new to midwifery training or in the senior years we have all
had a tough time, but we’ve made it!! I hope you all find some time to reflect on
the last year at some point soon and don’t forget help is always available - so
don’t struggle alone!
Stay safe everyone
Emma and Nicola!
