Ep 76: Five Things About Midwifery With Liz Wilkes, Chief Midwife for Queensland

In this episode Liz and Jesse are joined by Liz Wilkes to learn about midwifery (our sibling profession). Liz is the first state Chief Midwife in Australia, taking the lead for the profession in Queensland. We think this is an awesome episode on so much more than midwifery. There

are lessons on professional identity, scope, socio-cultural responsiveness and considered leadership through curiosity and representation.

Liz’s Five Things:

1. What is a midwife?
2. What is the scope of practice of a midwife?
3. Is midwifery a feminist issue?
4. Properties for midwifery today and into the future.
5. What people can expect from the chief midwife.
