Being a midwife in the NHS is a profoundly rewarding career that revolves around providing essential care and support to expectant mothers and their families throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the postnatal period. Midwives build strong relationships with women and their families, guiding them through the journey of pregnancy with empathy and compassion.
