As such, they are integrated into the clinical program for maternal and newborn care. A community-based clinic has been established since 2017 to support this practice group of four midwives including coverage for overhead (equipment, supplies, and support staff).

We strongly value patient and family centered care, excellence in practice, and teamwork. Midwives are autonomous health care professionals who are members of a professional multidisciplinary primary health care team providing maternal and newborn services within assigned geographical boundaries.

  • Ability to work well in a team environment.
  • Ability to obtain a comprehensive health history, including medical and psychosocial information.
  • Responsible for the care, assessment, and monitoring of women during normal pregnancy, labour and the postpartum period as well as their healthy newborns.
  • Responsible for the management of low risk, spontaneous vaginal deliveries.
  • Working with clients to develop, implement, and evaluate an individualized care plan including appropriate place of birth.
  • Duties include, but are not limited to: counseling, providing education and clinical care.
  • Provide health care in clients' homes, communities and in hospital and clinic.
  • Provide on-call coverage including days, nights, and holidays as scheduled in collaboration with the midwifery team.
  • Midwives may consult with, make referrals to, or transfer care to other medical practitioners as per Midwifery Council of New Brunswick regulations and provider judgement.
  • Respectful and clear communication with other health care providers and support staff including thorough documentation of all information shared with clients, care provided and care plans.
  • Prescribe, order and administer drugs in accordance with provincial regulation and standards.
  • Order, perform, and interpret screening and diagnostic tests, and may provide other health care series within the standards of practice.
  • Participate in various regional and local committees, respectfully providing midwifery perspective and representing the midwifery profession with dignity and integrity.
  • These duties are the basic and prime duties of the job; related and allied duties may be assigned from time to time as may become necessary to the operation of the service.
