Midwife Roles

Each year we support the care of around 5000 families throughout their pregnancy, birth and postnatal journey. In NHS Grampian we are passionate about delivering high-quality care that supports the needs of families in the North-East of Scotland. The future vision of maternity and neonatal services in NHS Grampian is one where:

• All mothers and babies are offered a truly family-centred, safe and compassionate approach to their care, recognising their own unique circumstances and preferences.
• Fathers, partners, and other family members are actively encouraged and supported to become an integral part of all aspects of maternal and newborn care.
• Women experience real continuity of care and carer, across the whole maternity journey, with vulnerable families being offered any additional tailored support they may require.
• Services are redesigned using the best available evidence, to ensure optimal outcomes and sustainability, and maximise the opportunity to support normal birth processes and avoid unnecessary interventions.
• Staff are empathetic, skilled and well supported to deliver high quality, safe services, every time.
• Multi-professional team working is the norm within an open and honest team culture, with everyone’s contribution being equally valued.

We provide maternity care in a variety of settings across the region, with an excellent range of maternity facilities including;

• Maternity Services at Dr Grays Hospital
• Aberdeen Maternity Hospital
• Inverurie Community Maternity Unit
• Peterhead Community Maternity Unit

This is an exciting time for maternity services in Grampian with several key strategic developments and programmes of work ongoing across the service including; The Best Start: five-year plan for maternity and neonatal care; The Moray Maternity Review recommendations; regional working; and the opening of the new Baird Family Hospital in Aberdeen.
