3. Nurturing Midwives & Student Midwives - Dr Sally Pezaro & Deepa Santhosh

Midwives have always been busy and over this last year, have been, and felt, even more so. With some staff redeployed, and some off sick, sometimes midwives are having to balance their workload and ensuring safe and high quality care for mothers and babies, with their own physiological and psychological well-being, even to the extent of not being able to have a drink of water, or have a short break.  In this session we explore the implications of not supporting staff, and strategies to ensure that midwives (and student midwives) are able to ensure that they are keeping healthy in the workplace, and caring for themselves, and their clients.   Episode 3 of Series 5 of the Maternity and Midwifery Hour   Hosted by: Sue Macdonald, Midwifery Consultant and Educationalist   Contributions from:  Deepa Santhosh, Student Midwife (masters), Oxford Brookes University  Dr Sally Pezaro, Senior Lecturer – The Academic Midwife, School of Nursing, Midwifery and Health| Centre for Arts, Memory and Communities, Coventry University Supported by MATFLIX: https://matflix.co.uk Watch the live stream instead: https://youtu.be/eiPZ9g_rpTw
