Our role and your care

Welcome to The Motherhood Practice. We are currently dedicated to supporting families by providing educational resources and connecting you with independent, qualified midwives in the London area.

Please read the following carefully:

• Informational purposes only: All content on this website is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
• No clinical relationship: Use of this website, or submitting a contact form, does not create a midwife-patient or clinical relationship between you and The Motherhood Practice Ltd.
• Future services: The Motherhood Practice is currently in the process of registering with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Until this registration is finalised and officially announced, we do not provide regulated clinical midwifery activities directly.
• Third-party midwives: When we connect you with a midwife, that midwife is responsible for the clinical care they provide. The Motherhood Practice acts as an intermediary and is not liable for the clinical advice or services rendered by independent practitioners.
