sensitive midwifery independent midwife network (SM-IMN)
The SM-IMN is an umbrella network of Independent Midwives in South Africa hosted by Sensitive Midwifery, which is the professional midwifery division of the well-known Sister Lilian Centre. It is exclusively open to independent midwives who are actively involved with attending births (whether just a few or many each year).
Any independent midwife in any province of South Africa is welcome to join. The SM-IMN is however not at this stage open to independent practitioners in the other very important fields of maternity care like antenatal education, breastfeeding counselling, or well-baby clinics. Sensitive Midwifery has plenty of other helpful resources for these practitioners, like the SENSITIVE MIDWIFE PLUS and SENSITIVE MIDWIFE PREMIUM Allied Practitioner & Facility Listing membership packages.
seven benefits the SM-IMN offers

- Easy access to Sensitive Midwifery’s online resources like a bank of quick links to midwifery-affirming evidence, and tips for tricky midwifery situations

- 10% discount on registration fees to Sensitive Midwifery Symposium and any Sensitive Midwifery course on offer
- Listing of members’ services on Sister Lilian Centre and Sensitive Midwifery websites and promotion of these on our Social Media platforms
