Lead Where You Are

Get lifetime access to the recordings from our Symposium event

It has been an interesting couple of years, with 2020 bringing the world to a standstill. A situation that was unthinkable unfortunately happened, and we had to cancel the Sensitive Midwifery Symposium. We quickly adjusted and learned to engage in the online space, and our 25th Symposium became our first ever VIRTUAL Symposium in 2021. The theme of the Symposium was Lead Where You Are. It couldn’t have been more applicable.

The Sensitive Midwifery Symposium is one of Africa’s largest and most prestigious midwifery and perinatal conferences, initiated in 1996 by the Sister Lilian Centre, which specialises in midwifery, pregnancy, birth and parenting education and advice.

The Sensitive Midwifery Symposium aims to make a positive difference to midwifery, maternity, and child care while celebrating the professions involved. It offers you a unique and innovative blend of expertise updates, advocacy of sensitive care, challenging of harmful practices, exposure to relevant complementary health fields, encouragement of professional morale, and professional inspiration.
