The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust defines a Midwife specialist as a qualified Midwife whose primary purpose is to provide guidance and support based on advanced level knowledge to patients, carers, and health professionals concerning a specific disease/condition.
Within the sphere of specialist practice, the Midwife specialist will:

2. Support the Maternity Service in the development and review of guidelines and policies.
3. Take a lead role in facilitating the planning, delivery, and evaluation of care pathways for a designated group of patients.
4. Support the development of Midwifery practice within the specialist field and contribute to the body of Midwifery knowledge, monitoring standards of practice through audit, and presenting findings and key performance indicators to the Maternity Team.
5. Contribute to the work of the Trust to ensure the development of an appropriate Perinatal Pelvic Health Service, which includes staff and service user education and an associated audit programme.
6. Have a corporate identity as an expert within the specialist area.
7. Lead and provide training and education across the organisation in relevant areas of practice.
