10th Annual Birth Trauma Summit

This year marks a significant milestone - 10 years of the Birth Trauma Summit. A decade of learning, collaboration, and driving change in birth trauma awareness and care. But this is more than just a conference - it’s part of our movement.

Join us for this special anniversary CPD-certified event, where we bring together expert speakers, engaging discussions, and practical insights through:

🔹 10 Talks | 🔹 6 Workshops | 🔹 3 Panels

Together, we’ll explore birth trauma from its foundations to the latest developments. This year’s three key themes will guide our conversations:

💡 Back to Basics – Reground ourselves in essential knowledge and best practices for birth trauma care.
🎉 Celebrating 10 Years of Impact – Celebrate the progress we’ve made and the voices that have shaped the field.
🚀 Defining the future – Define the future of trauma-informed perinatal care for the next decade.

Whether you join us in London (200+ in-person delegates) or online (200+ virtual attendees), this is your chance to connect, learn, and contribute to a future where birth trauma is better understood, better recognised, and better treated.

We promise to hold courageous conversations which challenge narratives, open perspectives, promote equitable care and inspire new thinking around birth trauma.
