PRACTICE, POLICY, RESEARCH. It’s the last day of National Midwifery Week 2025 and once again we’ve been heavy on the “practice” side of things, caring for women and catching babies. But we can’t let this week pass us by completely! We are proud to be involved in “policy” by staying highly involved in our hospital committees and sharing information with legislators. We participate in “research” - reading and applying data in our clinical meetings, maintaining detailed statistical records, and participating in an ongoing Water Birth Safety study at Manchester Memorial Hospital. Midwives must always remain vigilante to protect access to midwifery care as a healthcare choice for all!
