Abstract
Welcome to our new series highlighting career pathways for midwives. Clinical Research Midwives support, deliver or lead research in the clinical setting to improve the care and health outcomes of women, birthing people and their families. This article will specifically focus on the Clinical Research Midwives who deliver research in the clinical setting. The role is varied and may involve identifying potential participants that meet the study eligibility requirements and providing information about research as well as an array of clinical skills and experience to deliver their local portfolio of research. Midwives are ideally placed to facilitate discussions with potential participants, particularly when approaching women and birthing people during labour, and gaining informed consent, as well as taking/collecting clinical specimens and/ or recording clinical assessment data, such as blood pressure recordings or symphysis-fundal height measurements. In addition, Clinical Research Midwives collect outcome data specific to the study.
