In the second episode of Midwifery Hour series 11, Sue Macdonald, Midwifery Expert, Mayes Midwifery was joined by Mark William, Keynote Speaker, Author and International Mental Health Campaign, Fathers Reaching Out, and Debbie Garrod, Midwife and researcher, NHSP Midwife, Manchester University NHSFT
As midwives we are caring for women and their babies and families, and for partners and dads too. This session is exploring the experience of fathers, and we will be hearing from two leading speakers. The first will be Mark Williams, author, Consultant and campaigner for dads mental health. Then we are joined by Midwife Debbie Garrod, who will share insights from her ethnographic PhD research exploring midwife-father communications during labour and birth. She will focus in particular on the nature of these communications, the impact of different birth environments on communication and explore some ways in which midwives can help fathers, partners and other birth companions to habituate to the childbirth landscape.
