In this fifth episode of Midwifery Hour series five, Sue Macdonald, Festival Chair, Midwifery Consultant and Educationalist was joined by Dr Tracey Cooper MBE, Regional Chief Midwife for the North East and Yorkshire, Professor Trixie McAree, Professor of Midwifery and Maternal Health, Birmingham City University and Natalie Corden, Continuity Midwife; Blogger.
Continuity is a significant part of the Maternity Transformation agenda and an intervention that can have major implications for outcomes for women, their babies and families in terms of physical and emotional wellbeing.
Also, of course, there are significant effects on midwives’ job satisfaction, autonomy and workload. Student midwives are also working in these models, so that they are prepared for contemporary midwifery practice. COVID-19 has impacted on the maternity services and this has slowed some progress … or has it?
