History and profile

Midwives was first published as Nursing notes, by Dame Rosalind Paget, shortly after the foundation of the Royal College of Midwives in 1881.[4] The publication has had many names over the years including Nursing notes and midwives’ chronicle: for the professional nurse and midwife (1908-1939), Midwives chronicle and nursing notes (1940-1957), Midwives chronicle (1958-1995), RCM Midwives Journal (1998-2002), RCM Midwives (2002-2008). In 2008, the publication was rebranded as a magazine and titled Midwives. This coincided with Redactive Media Group becoming the title’s publisher.[1]

Midwives is the recipient of the 2016 TUC Trade Union Communications Award in the category of the best membership communication – print journal.[5]
