Abstract

This article explores the use of social media within midwifery education as a method to highlight health disparities and to reduce health bias within maternal care. In the United Kingdom, non-Caucasian women and birthing people are at higher risks of poorer health outcomes, resulting in increased maternal mortality and morbidity. Research has shown that some of the poorer health outcomes are associated with implicit and explicit bias from health professionals. By utilising a contemporary approach to address these biases early on within midwifery education, we hope to reduce health biases amongst professionals and consequently reduce health disparities.
