An historic deal is being signed today to ’Brexit proof’ nurses on both sides of the Irish Sea. Irish Ambassador Adrian O’Neill will host the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) and the UK’s Royal College of Midwives (RCM) today, at the Irish Embassy in London when the two organisations sign a historic partnership. Both organisations are members of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions and the European Public Services Union. In the context of Brexit it will strengthen the ability of midwives to practice and educate regardless of the outcome of Brexit negotiations. The Irish Congress of Trade Unions have endorsed and welcomed the initiative from INMO/RCM.
