Sue Macdonald
THE COMMISSIONER
Sue is a midwife and co-editor of the Mayes Midwifery textbook – she commissions all the videos at the Maternity & Midwifery Forum events. It is from these, Dr Hall curates the boxsets.
After qualifying as a nurse at Guys hospital, Sue trained as a midwife. She worked as a midwife in London and in Dorset, working in all areas of maternity services. She then moved into midwifery education after completing the Advanced Diploma in Midwifery. Whilst working in education she designed the first ‘direct entry’ midwifery programme in London, and developed a range of innovative continuing education courses for midwives from initial degree to Masters level. Sue worked at the Royal College of Midwives for 10 years, managing the research and education agendas.
