Iolanthe Midwifery Trust
(UK, 287283) Browse events
YTD Raised: £1,581.00
(UK, 287283) The Iolanthe Midwifery Trust is a national charity whose aim is to enhance the wellbeing of mothers, their babies and families by assisting the education and professional development of midwives in the UK. The name ‘Iolanthe’ comes from the origin of the finances used to set up the Trust in 1983 from the sale of Iolanthe House in South Kensington, London, previously the home of W.S. Gilbert of ‘Gilbert and Sullivan’ fame. The Trust gives a range of grants and awards, with the best known being annual awards for qualified midwives to enhance their professional development through such activities as further education, travel and attendance at conferences; and support for student midwives to experience additional educational opportunities or undertake elective placements. In addition there are larger awards given from time to time to promote research and reward best practice within the field of midwifery and the maternity services. Since 1983, the Trust has supported hundreds of midwives and students, all of whom have expressed their appreciation at being selected by a unique charity run by midwives for midwives. The distinction of gaining an award has often given midwives a boost to morale and confidence that has helped them take their career forward and make a real difference to care for mothers and babies.

To reinforce our patient centred approach, ELF makes a number of grants each year to support doctors, nurses and related health professionals in their work with blood cancer patients. We are particularly proud of the support we give to nurses, because it is the nurses who are most often in the frontline of patient care. We are also aware that advances in treatment and care come about by education and training. ELF awards Educational Fellowships each year so that doctors, nurses and related health professionals can advance their ability to treat and care for blood cancer patients. Because of our patient centre focus, by helping ELF today, you are helping blood cancer patients today.
