Information Requested

 As part of a MSc Midwifery dissertation, I am investigating the number of Consultant Midwives/Consultant Midwifery Posts in the UK (including the Channel Islands and Isle of Man). While Consultant Midwives (CMs) will primarily be employed within maternity services, an increasing number of Ambulance and Community/Mental Health organisations are utilising the specialist skills of senior Midwifery clinicians so I hope this data will help us to understand the distribution and impact of CMs in all our health services. I would therefore be grateful if you would be able to provide the following information: - Number of Consultant Midwives (headcount AND Whole Time Equivalent (WTE)) currently employed - Number of vacant Consultant Midwifery posts (WTE), if applicable - Salary band paid/offered to Consultant Midwives (e.g. Band 8b or Band 8c), if applicable - Number of Trainee/Assistant Consultant Midwives (headcount AND WTE) currently employed - Number of vacant Trainee/Assistant Consultant Midwife posts (WTE), if applicable - Salary band paid/offered to Trainee/Assistant Consultant Midwives, if applicable 

Response

The Scottish Ambulance Service does not employ any midwives, nor are there any vacancies for midwives
