In this role the midwife provides antenatal, intrapartum, and postnatal care for women and their families- focusing on the individual needs of each mother/baby duo.

A midwife in MGP has a set roster comprising of periods of 24 hour ‘on-call’ components and clear days off according to EFT contracted.
