Abstract

The implementation of the Royal College of Midwives’ (RCM) Decolonising midwifery toolkit (2023) in a higher education setting has uncovered the importance of investigating and identifying gaps in learning and teaching. Creating a working group within the department has highlighted the need to acknowledge the inherent biases within a Eurocentric midwifery curriculum and investigate persistent attainment gaps and attrition rates by ethnicity.
