The Role
The vision for South Eastern Sydney Local Health District (SESLHD) is ‘exceptional care, healthier lives’. SESLHD is committed to enabling our community to be healthy and well, and to providing the best possible compassionate care when people need it.
The Clinical Nurse/ Midwife Consultant is a Registered Nurse/Midwife who has responsibility for:
1) providing leadership, education, mentoring and supervision of midwives involved in the antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal care of women with hypertension in pregnancy (the commonest medical complication of pregnancy). This will ensure that midwives caring for hypertensive pregnant women are familiar with and follow the current detailed protocols of management. It will require close liaison with the NUM of the maternity ward to ensure the necessary education and supervision of these midwives. It will also provide a readily available clinical resource to whom practising clinicians (both midwifery and junior medical staff) can refer. The CMC will also contribute to updating the protocols for hypertension in pregnancy as needed.
2) Continuing to undertake clinical research studies in hypertension in pregnancy currently underway, and in the future, in the Department of Women’s Health, supervise students completing research within the Department, to coordinate multicentre trials based at St George Hospital, including liaison with, and supervision of, research midwives at other hospitals involved in these studies, and to encourage midwives to be involved in research and the pursuit of evidence-based clinical practice.
