Our Philosophy

• Pregnancy and birth are seen as a normal part of a woman's life.
• Midwifery care is a trusting, mutually respectful partnership between the woman and her carers.
• Each woman is entitled to get to know the midwives caring for her throughout her pregnancy and childbirth regardless of recognized risk factors, complications or place of birth.
• Women should be able to give birth to their babies in a safe and satisfying way in the place of their choice.
• The midwife 'follows the woman' thereby enabling care either at home or in hospital, appropriate to the woman's needs and choices.
• Women have a right to be given evidence based information in order to make informed choices throughout pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period.
