Community Midwife Experience

"Community Midwife Experience"

About: Lothian Community Services / Community Maternity Team

(as a service user),

At my 8 week booking appointment at Linlithgow Group Medical Practice I was allocated a midwife called Sophie. I clicked with her instantly. I appreciated her approach to navigating some very personal and sensitive questions. This is vital for patients to get a sense of psychological safety. I was lucky enough to see Sophie again for the last time at my 16 week appointment.

Sophie is an excellent communicator, open-minded to my choices and preferences and at no point did I feel judged. Sophie had excellent inter personal skills and makes for a wonderful midwife. Hopefully our paths will cross again in my journey.
