On this page you can find out more about the various meetings, groups and networks for genomics in nursing and midwifery across the East Midlands and East of England.
Our Nursing and Midwifery team have a number of regular group meetings which aim to create, develop and sustain a 'community of practice' in our region.
Regional Midwives in Genetics and Genomics Network (RegMiGGs)
The Regional Midwives in Genetics and Genomics Network (RegMiGGs) brings together regional midwives, educators and those in specialist roles that support the embedding of genomics in maternity services.
The group will work to achieve the following aims:
- Support and encourage a network approach that will accelerate the integration of genomics within midwifery practice in the NHS in England and ensure the delivery of optimal genomics-informed care to mothers and babies;
- Collaborate, where appropriate, to complete existing planned midwifery projects and support local priorities;
- Share updates and learning on the implementation of genomics into midwifery practice and review how best practice can be shared and disseminated regionally, aligning with NHS GMS Alliance priorities;
- Identify challenges to the integration of genomics within midwifery practice and work to identify ways to address these;
- Share and disseminate exemplars of good practice in genomics in midwifery and Allied Health Professionals (AHP) practice to support the delivery of health benefits for pregnancy, women, babies, and families;
If you are an NHS clinician you can request access to our Nursing and Midwifery (opens in a new tab) pages on the FutureNHS Collaboration Platform, where you can access meeting documents and recordings.
Next meeting: 16 July 2025
