In this eleventh episode of Midwifery Hour series six, Sue Macdonald, Midwifery Expert, Mayes Midwifery was joined by Professor Lesley Page CBE, Visiting Professor, King’s College London and Joanne Crawford, Head of Midwifery, General Manager for Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Health Care Group.
And what does continuity of care mean for midwives, and for the service? Some people are anxious that at this time, recovering from Covid-19, and with the impact of lack of staff, maternity services should revert to a more fractured service.
So is this the answer to improving care, experiences and outcomes for women, their babies and families? Is it the best for midwives in terms of job satisfaction, stress and mental health.
In this session we explore the possibilities, the choices and where we, as midwives need to go.
