OUR CORE VALUES
Why MaMa?
Our name stands for Midwives and Mothers alliance
Our name was born during our very first conference in 2009 because the organiser's were an alliance of midwives and mothers. We really wanted to create something different from the same old excluding conferences by making it open to more than healthcare professionals alone. We envisioned midwives, mothers & parents, students, allied professionals and indeed anyone that wanted to really improve the experience and outcome of pregnancy and birth for families. MaMa embraces a culture of all delegates learning from and with each other in an open and inclusive way and we believe that we are still unique in this approach.
MaMa Conference strives to always be true to and maintain our core values of promoting and supporting an inclusive, interactive learning platform. MaMa Conference is for everyone who believes that when and wherever possible, mothers, parents and their families should have the best possible midwifery care to support their birth and parenting choices. This includes adherence to the following principles:
Integrity
What matters to you, matters to us. We will never accept sponsorship or exhibitors that undermine informed choice, physiological birth whenever possible, breastfeeding or the profession of midwifery.
Passion
We are passionate about birth, midwifery, maternity care and parenting as well as the experience of delegates at MaMa. We want you to come to the conference, feel the passion for providing the very best care possible and take a whole load of confidence home to your own practice.
Courage
It's not easy to try to change the status quo by creating something unique or different. We will keep doing this as we support a worldwide movement to promote maternity care of the highest standard.
Quality
We work very hard to not only meet but exceed your expectations. We source world class speakers with the most current information, use 5 star venues, include all catering, only allow appropriate exhibitors that align with our own ethos and always strive to keep our ticket prices affordable. In 2024 each day of the conference will work out at an incredible £90 per day inclusive of education & updating, entertainment, a great exhibition, 12 CPD hours that can be used for re-validation, The most current topics presented by world class speakers, morning and afternoon refreshments with pastries and fruit as well as a delicious lunch. This represents incredible value for money for every delegate.
Respect
Respect for our delegates, speakers, sponsors and exhibitors is key to creating a unique event that reflects the ethos of gold standard midwifery and maternity care.
Positive Impact
We want our delegates to leave the conference feeling inspired, confident and empowered to make a positive impact within their own practice. Each year MaMa Conference also donates a number of tickets to organisations for delegates to attend for free and nominates a charity that we will raise funds for.
Making a Difference
We want to make a real difference, not just talk about it. We believe in being the change we want to see by providing an inclusive event where all professions are valued for their positive impacts but challenged for those that are not through current knowledge.
