Transcript
Hello, and welcome to this brand spanking new OptiBirth podcast.
My name is Dr Shawn Walker, and I created this podcast to share new maternity care research in an accessible way. My goal is to help more maternity care professionals and members of the public understand research that can improve practice and outcomes for mothers and babies. I’m aiming to deliver this information in bite-sized chunks, along with references and resources you can use to apply the research in practice.
First, I’ll introduce myself and my background. I am a consultant midwife and clinical academic. My role as a consultant midwife is defined by what are called the four pillars of Advanced Practice.
