They are primarily a support group for people having difficulty in getting or giving good, sympathetic, personalised midwifery care. A few of them are working independently outside the NHS, in order to offer a more woman-centred, one-to-one, style of practice, which at present is not widely available within NHS maternity services. There are contacts and/or local groups all around UK, as well as several overseas members.
