This week, to celebrate Maternity Support Worker (MSW) day, we were honoured to hold the MSW conference at Ashford Hospital Education Centre. Delegates came from across the Southeast, including Kent, South West London, Sussex, Hampshire, as well as the MSWs from ASPH.

The day featured a dynamic mix of guest speakers, interactive sessions, breakout discussions, and specialist MSW insights. Attendees had the opportunity to network, share experiences, and explore career development pathways.

With expert-led discussions on workforce frameworks, staff retention, specialist MSW roles, and education pathways such as the Foundation Degree and Maternity Degree Apprenticeship, the conference offered a rich blend of practical information and inspiration.

Above all, the event was a chance to reflect on the dedication and impact of MSWs and to celebrate the incredible work they do every day.
