Amity Reed is a midwife who has written a book about her experience of training and working as a midwife. Amity had approached her career change from editor to midwifery student, like the rest of us, with great passion and excitement. Sadly the painfully predictable journey she was forced to endure saw her leave the NHS in order to protect her mental health. She does, however, have some thoughts to share on her experiences and the way forward for a service that better serves women AND midwives, its been rather "Overdue".
