One Woman One Midwife

ONE VISION - We want every woman in the UK from whatever background and socio-economic status to have the opportunity to choose their lead professional (midwife) and be provided with a maternity service built upon Choice, Information and Partnership.

To achieve this we have formed a group to campaign for government implementation of the Independent Midwives Association's (IMA) proposed 'NHS Community Midwifery Model'.

Why am I Independent?

Following the births of my own three children I became fascinated with pregnancy and childbirth and knew I had to be a Midwife. I am always saddened when I meet women for whom birth was not the empowering, incredible experience it can and should be. I am determined to do my best to rectify this.

Experience

Having spent a few years working within the NHS I have chosen to work independently as I believe this enables me to provide a more appropriate level of truly individualised care to women and their families.

Qualifications:

As a registered midwife I am:

Supervised by the local supervisory authority.
Guided by the Midwives Rules & Code of Conduct.
Trained and equipped to deal with emergency situations

Fees

My fees are similar to those you would expect to pay for any professional service and reflect the level of experience and commitment I am able to make to you. Estate Agents charge for their services. Isn't birth more important?
