AIMS Ireland & AIMS UK Joint Committee Meeting & Seminar Day "Informed Consent in Maternity Care:Perspectives from Ireland & the UK"
September 25th 2010, The Teachers' Club, 36 Parnell Square, Dublin 1 (Opposite the Rotunda Hospital)

AIMS Ireland is delighted to announce a joint committee meeting and seminar day with AIMS UK which will take place on September 25th in Dublin. All AIMS members are most welcome to attend the committee meeting at 10 am. This will be followed at 11 am by a public seminar comprising presentations, discussions and a workshop, all focusing on the key issue of consent in maternity care. The availability of information and consent continues to be a complex and problematic feature of women's experiences in maternity care, both in Ireland and elsewhere. The aim of this event is to raise awareness of different aspects of consent and to stimulate reflection and discussion between midwives, student midwives, birth activists, service users, women's groups, and all others who are committed to supporting women's needs and rights during labour and birth.

Speakers will include Krysia Lynch, Co-Chair, AIMS Ireland, Mary Kirwan, Barrister & Journalist, Beverley Beech, Hon. Chair, AIMS UK, and Dr. Jo Murphy-Lawless,
School of Nursing & Midwifery, Trinity College Dublin.
