Antiracism Framework and Fellowship for Ethnic Minority Midwives
Organisations: NHS England & Health Education England
For four years we’ve been working with CapitalMidwife on a range of programmes to apply ‘once for London’ solutions to the challenges faced by over 6,000 midwives who make up the London midwifery workforce.
Most recently, following the publication of the Turning the Tide report, TPHC formed an advisory group of ethnic minority maternity leaders and worked with them to co-design and deliver two products to drive equity in London maternity services: a Fellowship, and an Anti-Racism Framework.
The impact of our work
The Fellowship aimed to help band 6 and 7 midwives from ethnic minority groups move into leadership roles. The results have been outstanding: 33% of Fellows moved into a more senior role during, or within three months of completing, the Fellowship.
The Anti-Racism Framework is being piloted across London and outlines nine initiatives maternity services should implement in order to be anti-racist, which range from making sure ethnic minority maternity staff are in leadership roles, to debiasing recruitment, to supporting the continuous professional development of ethnic minority staff.
“Thank you for the incredible work you have done with CapitalMidwife and I feel so strongly that my recent award is credit to you all. You are the most amazing bunch of clever, thoughtful, talented people, and without your work CapitalMidwife just would not have succeeded. Thank you for what you have done for maternity in London.”
Kate Brintworth, Chief Midwife for London

More case studies
Net Zero Travel and Transport
This is a small preview of this case study, maybe one long sentence We worked with NHS England to establish the first-ever Net Zero Travel and Transport team. We wrote the team’s first programme plan and designed and led the programme which led to the real-world testing and unveiling of the world’s first zero-emission ambulance at COP26.
Place-based integration in City and Hackney
We provided strategy and programme support to City and Hackney CCG in North East London (NEL) over three years to strengthen collaborative working and accelerate out-of-hospital partnership programmes around local strategic priorities. The governance framework we developed is now in place, with elements of it being adopted by other local Place-based Partnerships.
Armed Forces family engagement
We delivered a patient and public engagement programme to help NHS England understand armed forces families’ health needs and how best to support them. As a result of our work, NHS England allocated funding to support networks for armed forces families across England.
