Have kindred midwifery services changed?

In 2023, our midwifery services were redesigned to allow improvement for both our team and the families we care for. Prior to this, Kindred Midwifery provided 24 hour team-based midwifery care, backed up by our obstetricians. This model was very popular, but as our numbers grew, continuity was compromised for families and burn out became more prevalent for our midwives.

We took a (temporary) pause in providing 24 hour midwifery care, a decision which was not made out of lack of recognition of the known benefits of midwifery continuity.  It was a very carefully considered decision to make the necessary improvements and maintain the quality of care we pride ourselves on.

Kindred midwifery is now offering a range of services, ranging from antenatal education to full continuity in a re-designed model, details can be found on the midwifery page or via our admin team.
