'Vita Donum Dei' meaning ''Life is the gift of God'' is the motto of which UK Royal College?

The Royal College of Midwives (RCM) was established in 1881 as the Matron's Aid or Trained Midwives Registration Society, but has existed under its present name since 1947. In 1881, 'Vita Donum Dei' was the College's slogan, which meant 'Life is the gift of God'. This was an old hymn that midwives used to sing.

The RCM represents the interests of midwives in all four UK countries individually and collectively. They strive to promote excellence, innovation and leadership in the care of childbearing women, newborns and their families, nationally and internationally.

There mission is to enhance the confidence, professional practice and influence of midwives for the benefit of childbearing women and their families. We strive to operate with integrity, act in an open and transparent way, be accessible to members and support equity in service.
