Dear Mailbase members,
Some of you or your colleagues and friends may be interested in the
following job advert passed to me by midwives at QCCH:
****************
At Queen Charlotte's & Chelsea Hospital, we don't take the usual
detached view of midwifery.
Our new One-to-One Midwifery Practice turns normal practice on its
head.
Basically, it puts a named midwife with every woman, planning and
setting the standards of care for an individual mother throughout her
pregnancy and right up to the birth. (An amazing 80% of births being
attended by her own midwife).
Each midwife works in a pair (continually in touch by mobile phone) so
if you can't be there your partner will.
MIDWIVES
Grade F £20,818 - £24,837
(ref: W/44)
Grade G £24,032 - £27,292
Often the midwife is the lead clinician although, when needed, there's
still the option of GP or consultant led care.
Early results from our evaluations are amazing. We've had more normal
deliveries, less use of epidurals, fewer episiotomies and most
importantly both mothers and midwives think it's absolutely brilliant.
In fact it's been so successful that now we need more midwives to
expand the programme.
If you want the responsibility, the feeling of being a professional
pioneer and the immense job satisfaction, you too could be part of the
One-to-One practice.
For more information on the above position, any other post within
midwifery or an informal visit, call Lesley Spires on 020 8383 3522 or
07957 331 534.
