Registered Midwives

Registered Midwives

Midwives registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council are highly sought after professionals in the UK. The NHS has been reporting shortage of midwives in order to fill existing vacancies in its various hospitals.

The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) has stated that "Midwifery is a protected function in the UK, meaning it's a criminal offence for any person other than a registered midwife, or a registered medical practitioner, to attend on a woman in childbirth (except in emergencies or when in training as a student midwife or medical student)."

There are around 40,000 midwives working in the NHS. The NMC has launched new, transformational midwifery standards that will equip midwives of the future with knowledge, skills, values and behaviours to meet women's changing and often complex, individual needs and choices.

Avatar Health Care is working on various career plans for the Registered Midwives in the UK and promotes higher education in the discipline to support UK Government's initiatives for ensuring the highest quality pregnancy, birth, and postnatal care.
