Midwives gathered outside a Merseyside hospital today as part of a major nationwide campaign to address the crisis in the sector.
Midwives and their supporters staged major protests across the UK in the hopes of raising awareness on the problems with the NHS service. Dozens held a protest outside Arrowe Park Hospital in Wirral, with campaigners were calling for the government to address the problems they are facing.
Campaigners say services across the UK are in a state of emergency, as the number of midwives leaving the workforce is growing every year. The March with Midwives campaign began as a grassroots project and they regularly update their social media with upcoming events.
