"Certified professional midwives deliver babies in homes or birth centers. Rather than attend nursing school — which many can’t afford — they earn a nationally recognized certificate by attending at least 55 births and demonstrating their knowledge. Nurse-midwives more often deliver babies in hospitals or clinics than in patients’ homes."

I stand with #NHS midwives

Across our NHS, #midwives are routinely working shifts without rest breaks.

- Many are signed up to opt out of the #Working Time #Regulations, not freely, but because speaking up feels impossible.

- #Clinical #errors linked to #fatigue are not rare #accidents, they are what happens when a system asks too much of too few people for too long.
