Nurse Midwife careers

A Nurse Midwife provides care and support to women throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the postnatal period. You might work in hospitals, birthing centres, or provide home birth services. Nurse Midwives focus on monitoring the health of the mother and baby, offering guidance on prenatal health, and managing the delivery process. You’ll also provide postnatal care and educate new mothers on infant care and breastfeeding.

Nurse Midwives play a vital role in ensuring safe and healthy childbirth experiences. You’ll need to be compassionate, attentive, and able to respond quickly in critical situations. You’ll work closely with obstetricians and other healthcare professionals to ensure the best outcomes for mothers and their babies.
