Nurturing Maternity Staff

How to tackle trauma, stress and burnout to create a positive working culture in the NHS

Midwife means 'with woman' not 'with paperwork', so why are we tolerating a broken system?

That maternity staff are under pressure, with many leaving their jobs each year, is well known. Personal sacrifices, long working hours, lack of resources and an overstretched system take their toll, and occasionally staff are involved in traumatic and emotionally difficult situations. Many tolerate these conditions in the service of doing a job they love, but what happens to their mental health over time? Nurturing Maternity Staff explains how the system and individuals within it relate to each other, highlighting both the vital role compassionate leadership has in creating psychologically safe working environments, as well as tools individuals can use to optimise their own mental wellbeing.

Let’s dare to dream maternity services could be different.
