In a career that spans over three decades, Professor Renfrew has been on the front line in transforming midwifery care in the United Kingdom.

She was also instrumental in helping to legalise midwifery in Canada.


Mary Renfrew is the Professor of Mother and Infant Health at the University of Dundee in Scotland. She is also a key technology partner and visiting Professor at the University of Technology Sydney.
