Science in Midwifery - Job Description

A registered midwife is uniquely placed to support the needs of childbearing women and their families. A common misconception held by many applicants is that midwifery is all about the care of babies. However, the primary role of the midwife is to support women during the normal childbirth process, and also ensure that women who have more complex health needs receive the care most suited to them from other members of the multidisciplinary healthcare team.
