🚀 The Royal College of Midwives (RCM) has launched a new Maternity Disadvantage Assessment Tool (MatDAT) for the midwifery workforce.

📈 There is a growing body of evidence demonstrating the impact of disadvantage, such as poverty and poor housing on pregnancy and birth outcomes, which means a multi-agency approach is needed.

✅ MatDAT will provide midwives across the UK with a standardised assessment tool to provide better support to the women in their care.
