S2 Ep5: Positive Birth and Woman-Centred Care with Obstetrician Dr Victoria Medland

Clare and Clair talk to Obstetrician Dr Victoria Medland about her work, how we can help women and birthing people to have better experiences in hospital, why language matters so much and how her own experiences of motherhood and birthing gave her a new perspective. 

In the UK in 2020/2021 around 46% of Births were by Caesarean or Assisted Delivery (Forceps or Ventouse) *
