The art of questioning!

By: Dr Sara Wickham

To launch our new service we have an excellent podcast presentation by Dr Sara Wickham, who explores in detail 'the art of questioning' within midwifery practice.

Sara is renowned for her inquisitive and critical approach to the consideration of various midwifery practices. Sara brings these skills to this podcast, as she helps us to consider the role of reflective practice and critical thinking in contemporary maternity care provision. Asking questions is fundamental to our daily practice and Sara demonstrates how questions are often posed while midwives work within multiple paradigms. For example, the obstetric (medical) model, where birth is only perceived as ‘normal’ in hindsight, compared to the midwifery (social) model of care with its strong focus on normality, in which pregnancy is viewed as an altered state of normal health. What are we doing and why are we doing it? How can we view it differently and how can we improve things? If you're feeling the need to be inspired or re-enthused to challenge practice, then this podcast is an absolute must for you!
