Description of an enrolled midwife qualification

An enrolled midwife is a health professional who provides primary care to women and their babies during pregnancy, labour, birth and the postpartum period. They provide the course of low-risk prenatal, intrapartum and postnatal care, including physical exanimations, screening and diagnostic tests, the assessment of risk and abnormal conditions, and the conduct of normal vaginal deliveries. An enrolled midwife is fully responsible for clinical decisions and the management of care within their scope of practice. They work in collaboration with other health professionals and consult with or refer to medical specialists as appropriate. Enrolled Midwives attend births in hospitals, birth centers and at home.
