The Midwife - Malaga

I work as an English Independent Midwife along the Cost Del Sol from Almuñecar through to Marbella. Covering the Malaga area. I qualified as a Midwife in 2010 from The University of Greenwich in London. I commenced my training in 2006 and spent 4 years completing the European Directive as part of my Midwifery degree, qualifying with a Bachelor Of Science Honours Degree (BSc Hons). Since qualifying I have worked mainly as a labour ward Midwife as part of the team at The Princess Royal University Hospital (Bromley, London), now know as Kings College London NHS Foundation Trust. Throughout my time working as a busy labour ward midwife, I gained invaluable experience caring for low risk women and their families through to very high risk patients needing extremely specialised care. Working in such a busy Maternity Unit helped me gain my full experience and skills needed to deal with and manage accordinly a whole array of emergency situations and enabled me to become the Midwife I am today. Confident in dealing with multiple emergency situations that can sometimes arise throughout child birth, caring, compassionate, thorough, safe, trusting and above all else .... my experience has shown me that Childbirth may be the most powerful life experience you undergo. With a midwife’s full support, you can tap into enormous reserves of strength during the birth process and learn that you are capable of so much more than you realised – a valuable discovery as you become a mother. Although my main position as a midwife was held working on labour ward. I was lucky enough to also spend time working as part of a small team of midwives working and running an award winning Birthing Centre - The Oasis Birthing Centre (Bromley, London). having this position working as a birth centre midwife enabled me to provide care to low risk women and their families while labouring using minimal intervention. Following completion of my Midwifery Degree I then continued my academic qualifications to enable and better my carreer as a midwife. Within the fisrt year after qualifying as a midwife I completed The Mentorship Programme, again, at The University of Greenwich. This course enabled me to become a Mentor to student midwives and allowed me to teach them while they were completing their labour ward placements as part of their training. After two years of working as part of the team on labour ward, which predominantly provides care to High risk patients, I chose to complete the ´Care of the Crtically Ill woman in Childbearing´ course, this time at masters level. This course enables a midwife to detect and manage accordinly the complications that can arise in pregnancy and childbirth. It teaches you as a midwife how to provide the most appropriate care to critally sick women and their babies as well as notice the early signs and symptoms of complications. Ensuring the woman recieves the best care and attention needed to ensure her and her baby remain safe and as healthy as possible. Although these complications are rare for most, they can occur. Having a midwife that is trained to notice the early warnings of such complications and is able to manage and deal with them in a timely manner. I have also completed the Non Medical Prescribing course, at The London Southbank University. This qualification allows Nurses and Midwives to legally Prescribe medication with the same prescribing capabilities as a Doctor. This course qualifies me to make clinical descions regarding medicines and allows the ability to diagnose common conditions related with midwifery as well as common conditions outside of pregancy. This qualification is registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
