Virtual International Day of the Midwife (VIDM) is a 24-hour FREE ONLINE CONFERENCE centred on 5th May for midwives and anyone interested in childbirth. VIDM 2020 celebrates the International Year of the Midwife
Each year VIDM receives a number of outstanding posters which illustrate many aspects of midwifery practice and research around the globe. This year is no different. We have provided a separate category for Midwifery Students to showcase their work, many of which are interesting research as well. Additionally, some of the poster presenters chose to be interviewed — Podcast interviews are found below their names on the presentation pages.
Please take some time to review this excellent work. Follow the links to the presentation pages.
