Obstetrical Association of Midwives

The Obstetrical Society of London began offering a three-month course which led to a midwifery diploma.

The Obstetrical Association of Midwives , an autonomous body, precursor to the Royal College of Midwives , was developed to campaign for better standing for female midwives.

The Matrons' Aid or Trained Midwives' Registration Society was founded in London by Louisa M. Hubbard .
