What is a Midwife?

A midwife is an evidence-based healthcare practitioner who is there to provide a safe, respectful, caring and personalised service to women, their babies and families. The Midwife provides care throughout the antenatal, intrapartum and post partum period. She/he does more than deliver babies or work with small children; she/he helps women make informed decisions and choices regarding the variety of options for care that are available.
