Specialist Midwife for Maternal Medicine | Barts Health NHS Trust

Working closely with Maternal Medicine Consultants, Maternal Medicine Network Leads and a broad multidisciplinary team, you will play a key role in coordinating and supporting the care of women and birthing people with complex medical conditions, including those classified as Category C within the NHS England Maternal Medicine Network specification.

You will provide specialist midwifery input within tertiary multidisciplinary clinics, coordinate and lead maternal medicine multidisciplinary team meetings, and review patients across a variety of settings including maternity services, medical and surgical wards, critical care and the emergency department. You will work both independently and collaboratively to ensure timely, safe and effective care, while facilitating clear communication between all professionals involved.

The post holder will contribute to the ongoing development of maternal medicine services and support the education and professional development of midwifery colleagues across the Trust. Working alongside the Network Lead Midwife, you will also contribute to governance, quality improvement and service development initiatives.

A central aspect of the role is providing personalised, evidence-based care that supports informed decision-making and respects individual preferences throughout the pregnancy journey. You will advocate for women and birthing people with complex medical needs, ensuring they receive holistic, compassionate and equitable care.
