Why Choose An Independent Midwife?
*Please note that, due to the unavailability of insurance for intrapartum care, I am currently unable to attend births but still offer continuity for Antenatal and Postnatal Care
An Independent Midwife is a fully qualified, self-employed midwife registered with the NMC.
As an Independent Midwife, I believe in a women’s right to choice and continuity of care throughout pregnancy and birth. I work independently of, but collaboratively with, the NHS to provide safe, positive birthing experiences.
I adhere to the same rules and codes-of-conduct as my colleagues in the NHS. However, I’m passionate about providing the choice and continuity of care that it is currently difficult to provide within the NHS.
