Show Notes
Using research and evidence has become an important part of the midwife’s toolbox and, for some midwives, this moves beyond, to querying aspects of their practice, learning or management and towards a journey towards engaging in research themselves.
This week, we are looking at two stages of research – the first is work truly in progress. We will hear from midwife Sophie Hicks who is looking at Models of Care and what midwives’ views of these models are. She’s currently seeking help with this from midwives across the UK.
Then Dr Claire Feeley, Senior Lecturer and Midwifery/Maternal Health Researcher, KCL, will talk about the Intrapartum self-assessment tool for midwifery students and educators - which emerged from ground breaking research presented at the London Maternity and Midwifery Forum in February 2026.
Models of Care - research in progress.

Most of us will know that our supermarket bills are increasing due to the rising cost of living and this might mean that we have to cut out a treat or two. But for some families, with a new baby, the rising cost of infant formula is having a major impact on their well-being, forcing parents to reduce their own food intake, take strategies which may impact on their baby’s health, or even getting into debt, to ensure their babies are fed and cared for.
While professional frameworks uphold compassionate care, growing global evidence indicates that disrespectful and abusive care remains a persistent systemic issue within maternity services worldwide.

Series 20 - Episode 1: The Midwifery Student Jobs Crisis
For as long as we can remember, student midwives have learned about the female pelvis, and the fetal skull, its dimensions and fit together, and the mechanism of labour. But do we always understand the complexities of that mechanism, and the influence of factors like exercise, and movement may have on the process, even before the beginning of labour? Molly O’Brien joins us to discuss how we can develop our knowledge and skills, using research and evidence focussing on biomechanics, and how we can encourage women to move that little bit more, and try different movements to make their labour and birth work better.
