NEWS RELEASE
CEMACH Becomes CMACE
CEMACH will become an independent charity on 1 July 2009 with the new name "Centre for Maternal and Child Enquiries'"(CMACE).
CEMACH was set up in April 2003 as a unit within the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG).
The independent status and new name reflect significant developments since 2003. CMACE will continue to be committed to work for mothers and babies but also aims to develop and expand its work on child health. The organisation has also broadened its range of activities beyond its core national confidential enquiry activity. Local review, clinical audits and research collaborations represent increasingly important parts of its work. These all support its wider mission to improve the health of mothers, babies and children.
CEMACH has worked closely with a wide range of clinicians, including midwives, paediatricians, obstetricians and, increasingly, general practitioners in carrying out its reviews. It is committed to continuing and further strengthening these relationships once it becomes CMACE. Links with the RCOG as the legal host have been particularly strong. Although CMACE will not be part of the RCOG in the same way as CEMACH, both parties are committed to retaining close ties in the future.
Professor Arulkumaran, President of the RCOG said: "I have greatly valued the role played by CEMACH in recent years. We welcome its achievement of independence as CMACE and look forward to working in partnership with the new organisation on our shared goals."
Professor Jimmy Walker, the Chair of CEMACH since April 2009, who will continue as Chair of CMACE, said "I would like to thank the RCOG for its support over the last 6 years. The college's help has been essential in nurturing and enabling CEMACH to grow and develop through this period of significant change. We look forward to continuing to work with the RCOG and all our stakeholders in developing the role of CMACE in the years to come."
