Episode Synopsis

This episode features a special guest, Professor Hannah Dahlen AM. If this name sounds familiar to our Australian and New Zealander listeners, it should! Hannah is a named author on our midwifery textbooks ‘Midwifery: Preparation for Practice’ and an incredibly well known midwife for her research and plethora of publications. Hannah shares her experiences in midwifery, from her first catch at the young age of 12, the system, midwifery politics, direct entry and providing practical advice for students on placement. We also touched on Hannah's research on the perineum warm compress, the effect of continuity of care, birth trauma, violence, burnout and changing workplace culture.
