I think we will have this trial when we submit it for funding. We
have just had an RCT funded on the use of self-hypnosis for pain relief in
labour, so the door is opening to this kind of study - who wants to work on
designing ithe SOBERING study?!! By the way, Ellen Hodnett is doing some work
with colleagues on the effect of taking the bed out of the room, among other
environmental factors, and Hannah Dahlen and her team are just finishing a study
on how midwives and women use different kinds of birth space.

Oh
dear - forgive me - but when, oh when, will the SOBERING trial get 39 months
funding complete with a research midwife? What is SOBERING? Should Obsteric Beds
and Epidurals be Removed In Normal birth-Giving.
Yes, I do know some
women will 'need' epidurals but ...

Trial NPEU - readvertisement
Re-advertisement
NATIONAL PERINATAL
EPIDEMIOLOGY UNIT
Senior Research Midwife – BUMPES Trial
Grade
8 - £36,715 to £43,840
Applications are invited for the full time
post of BUMPES Senior Research Midwife. This post is funded by the
National Institute for Health Research, Health Technology Assessment Programme
for 39 months. There is the possibility that this post could be considered
as a secondment, subject to agreement with your current employer.
The
BUMPES trial is a multi-centre randomised controlled trial that will involve
recruiting women who are having their first baby and require an epidural to
evaluate whether adopting a policy of an “upright position” throughout the
second stage of labour is associated with an increase in the incidence of
spontaneous vaginal delivery compared with a policy of adopting a “lying down”
position. The trial will also compare the length of time labour takes and the
level of satisfaction with the experience for women.
We are
looking for a dynamic Senior Midwife with clinical leadership experience and
excellent communication skills, to take on this new role of Senior Research
Midwife. You will undertake regular visits to the 5 trial sites across the UK
working with site staff including a part-time BUMPES Trial research midwife at
each site.
Although based at the NPEU in the University of Oxford Old
Road Campus, the post will involve significant regular travel around the
UK. No ‘hands-on’ midwifery is involved in this role.
For an
informal discussion about the post (Ref: B2/10/004) please contact Ursula Bowler
or Ed Juszczak - Tel: 01865 289700.
Further particulars, including
details of how to apply, can be downloaded from our website
