Rejected petition Train all midwives in tongue-tie division as part of their standard training.

Currently there are only two centres in the UK that offer ankyloglossia (tongue-tie) division training. Health professionals have to pay over £800 of their own money to train in frenulotomy (tongue-tie division).

More details

Please mandate that all UK midwifery courses train all midwives in frenulotomy as part of their standard training, in order to meet the significant demand for babies who require this technique.
