Qualification
Being an autonomous practitioner and a midwife registered with the
NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council) means I am fully qualified and
trained to support women and their partners during the normal course
of pregnancy, childbirth and postnatal care. I also hold a BA (Hons)
in Women’s Health Practice.
The Local Supervisory Authority and a Supervisor of Midwives supervise
me in my practice; my supervisor approves all drugs and equipment
I carry. I am qualified to detect any problems and, in the event of
an emergency, I am trained to manage the situation until further help
arrives.
