Let’s Talk Birth 2019 Tour focuses on celebrating the work and collaboration between health and birth professionals with empowering women and their families, in pregnancy, birth and in the postnatal period. With addresses from leading midwifery, birthing and perinatal specialists, encased in a day of lively discussion with exhibitors and like-minded professionals.
Visiting 5 cities over 8 days, the Let’s Talk Birth team have created a relaxing, informative and memorable awayday for midwives, Doulas, birth and health professionals training in, working in, or supporting in midwifery, early parenthood and perinatal mental health. This event is for the innovative and forward thinking.
With commissioned performances from the Birmingham Theatre School, the City of Glasgow College and spoken word from Kati Edwards.

Our speakers all work within the maternity services and between them encompass all aspects of birth - from the antenatal period through to the postnatal. From positive birth to trauma and the effects on the wider family. These speakers have a wealth of experience between them, years of professional development and multiple publications met with great success.
Each leg of the tour will encompass five speakers and you can be assured to gain in depth knowledge on a variety of birthing topics. And there’s no need to worry about missing a speaker...
