Specialist Midwife - West Midlands Regional Placenta Accreta Spectrum
This exciting new role has been created to provide strategic and clinical leadership as the Specialist Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS) Midwife for the West Midlands Perinatal Network (WMPN). The role will focus on developing, strengthening, and coordinating the regional PAS network, working collaboratively with multidisciplinary PAS teams across the four regional referral centres to ensure equitable, high-quality care delivery.
The postholder will provide expert midwifery support to women diagnosed with PAS, ensuring a consistent, evidence-based, and holistic approach throughout the care pathway.
Given the well-recognised psychological morbidity associated with PAS, including increased rates of post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and long-term physical complications, dedicated specialist midwifery leadership is essential.
The postholder will have a special interest in psychological support and incorporate this into the direct care provided to patients. The candidate will also be passionate in providing continuity of care for women with complex obstetric needs and be an advocate throughout their journey.
