This week on the show we spoke with Claire Rankin. Claire is an emergency clinical nurse educator and Registered Midwife who received the Jean Smith Prize for Excellence in Midwifery at The Royal Women’s Hospital in 2010.

Claire talks to John and Cliff about balancing midwifery and emergency care, the differences in caring for pregnant women in the ED and her experience of working in remote Western Australia. Claire was a delight to chat with and we think you will agree that she is just the kind of person you want in your ED when a baby’s on its way!
