Résumé : |
Midwives are autonomous, specialist lead professionals in normality, caring for low-risk women. Occasionally when maternal deviations from normality arise, it is within the midwife's role and responsibility to act accordingly by recognising the aberration and referring to the appropriate relevant services or senior, specialist professionals, such as obstetricians (Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) 2015a). Within the midwife's role, it is vital to recognise complex medical and obstetric conditions early as initial diagnosis and treatment can significantly affect the health and/or well-being of the woman and her family. This paper aims to explore the role of the midwife in contemporary practice in relation to recognising, diagnosing and treating maternal sepsis postnatally. References to both local and national policies and guidance are included. Legal and ethical issues that relate to midwifery practice are also referred to, underpinning the fundamental professional standards of practice and values that midwives must adhere to, as advised by the NMC (2015b). |
