# Event Details - **Event Name**: Strategic entanglements, moral & truth regimes in NHS maternity healthcare - **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 23 Feb, 2026 at 03:15 pm – Mon, 23 Feb, 2026 at 05:00 pm - **Event Description**: Egenis seminar (hybrid) with Dr Aimee Middlemiss (University of Exeter)About this EventTwo central principles are frequently and persistently represented as underpinning the provision of maternity healthcare in the NHS: evidence-based care, and patient-centred care, often invoked as ‘woman-centred’ care. In this talk, I bring together two qualitative research projects to discuss how moral and truth regimes are embedded in NHS maternity care. I argue that moral and truth regimes interact with one another strategically in pursuit of healthcare goals in this morally-charged area of policy-making and clinical care. My examples are interventions at different registers of NHS action: the attempted implementation of the workforce organisation model Midwifery Continuity of Carer, as studied by the SIMCA project on which I was a Research Fellow; and the reproductive technology of the cervical stitch (cerclage) used in specific patients to prevent preterm birth, the subject of my new Wellcome Early Career Award. Both interventions are recommended in a key NHS England maternity policy, the Saving Babies’ Lives Care Bundle, now in its third iteration. I conclude with some thoughts about this policy in relation to the reproductive governance of maternity care.Venue: Byrne House, University of Exeter (spaces limited)Virtual: via ZoomData Protection and PrivacyTo aid organisation of this event, attendee information may be shared with relevant staff in the University e.g. a list of attendees could be provided to the University host, guest speaker.We will store your information securely, so that we can communicate to you about the event (e.g. cancellation of event, changes to the itinerary, a satisfaction survey).We delete our access to personal information on Eventbrite after 6 months.More information on the University’s privacy policies can be found here.For more information on Eventbrite’s own privacy policy, please visit this page. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/exeter/strategic-entanglements-moral-and-truth-regimes-in-nhs-maternity-healthcare/100001977268299711 - **Event Categories**: workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Exeter - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: University of Exeter Byrne House - **lat**: 50.7344521 - **long**: -3.525418 - **full address**: University of Exeter Byrne House, Saint German's Road, Exeter, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Strategic entanglements, moral & truth regimes in NHS maternity healthcare - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/16e0fc7b015f3c943b88a9140660a122244ae27e83c654d33130354f442a6b41-rimg-w1200-h554-dc000000-gmir.png?v=1766929327 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Strategic entanglements, moral & truth regimes in NHS maternity healthcare being held? - **A:** Strategic entanglements, moral & truth regimes in NHS maternity healthcare takes place on Mon, 23 Feb, 2026 at 03:15 pm to Mon, 23 Feb, 2026 at 05:00 pm at University of Exeter Byrne House, Saint German's Road, Exeter, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Strategic entanglements, moral & truth regimes in NHS maternity healthcare? - **A:** Strategic entanglements, moral & truth regimes in NHS maternity healthcare is organized by Egenis. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Strategic entanglements, moral & truth regimes in NHS maternity healthcare", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/16e0fc7b015f3c943b88a9140660a122244ae27e83c654d33130354f442a6b41-rimg-w1200-h554-dc000000-gmir.png?v=1766929327", "startDate": "2026-02-23", "endDate": "2026-02-23", "url": "https://allevents.in/exeter/strategic-entanglements-moral-and-truth-regimes-in-nhs-maternity-healthcare/100001977268299711", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "University of Exeter Byrne House", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Saint German's Road", "postalCode": "EX4 4PJ", "addressLocality": "Exeter", "addressRegion": "EN", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "50.7344521", "longitude": "-3.525418" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Egenis seminar (hybrid) with Dr Aimee Middlemiss (University of Exeter)", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-07", "availabilityEnds": "2026-02-23", "validFrom": "2026-04-07", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/exeter/strategic-entanglements-moral-and-truth-regimes-in-nhs-maternity-healthcare/100001977268299711" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-07", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-07", "url": "https://allevents.in/exeter/strategic-entanglements-moral-and-truth-regimes-in-nhs-maternity-healthcare/100001977268299711", "price": 0, "name": "Venue Admission" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-07", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-07", "url": "https://allevents.in/exeter/strategic-entanglements-moral-and-truth-regimes-in-nhs-maternity-healthcare/100001977268299711", "price": 0, "name": "Online Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Egenis", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/egenis/22835183", "description": "Based at the University of Exeter in the UK, Egenis is committed to providing research of the highest international standard into the nature, historical precedents, and philosophical, social and scientific implications of developments in contemporary biosciences.
