#BICS23 is next month! Will we see you there? We have an absolutely brilliant programme, and will hopefully leave everyone feeling inspired to go back and make a difference in maternity care

It's hard carving time out for a two-day conference, far from one's home. Really hard. But it's also hugely worthwhile. Time to listen, to learn, to connect. That's why aims.org.uk volunteers will be at #BICS23. See you there, British Intrapartum Care Society. #ImprovingMaternityServicesTogether
