Another visit to the Irish Republic

Today I have travelled from snow and freezing winds in London to the slightly warmer Republic of Ireland. This will be my fourth visit to Drogheda and I will again be presenting an Active Birth program for the midwives in the surrounding areas.

I am keen to hear of their progress with implementing the ideas we discussed last time. I remember that in the last group we hade some midwives from Northern Ireland who worked in a wonderful midwifery led unit in Craigarvon and that their approach had been quite a revelation to many in the group. Many of the group were keen to develop their midwifery practises, especially as a real alternative to the “active management of labour” protocol that is so prevalent in Ireland and I hope to hear that they have been making good progress.

We shall see....
