What is an Independent Midwife?
An Independent Midwife is fully qualified and registered and has chosen to care for women outside the NHS. Independent Midwives are regulated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council in the same way as NHS Midwives and abide by the same Midwives Rules and Standards and The Code of Professional Conduct. This ensures safety and professionalism.
As an Independent Midwife, I am able to provide individualised care starting with your first appointment. It is known that continuity of care helps achieve successful outcomes with birth expectations and breastfeeding.
