BHRUT is looking to recruit an experienced and enthusiastic Professional Midwifery Advocate to support our staff members. The PMA will be expected to use the A-EQUIP model to support midwives and improve performance within the Trust. The PMA will work closely with the Maternity Governance team and Quality Improvement and Assurance Midwife to improve outcomes and clinical care, enhancing quality and safety within the Maternity unit.The PMA will use continue to develop their leadership skills by enhancing both professional and personal development through education.
This role is a nationally recognised role that has been developed to replace the role of the supervisor of midwives that was de-legislated in April 2017. This role is designed to meet the professional support and developmental needs of midwives and to have a positive impact on clinical outcomes for women, babies, midwives, and maternity services. The postholder will develop appropriate strategies and policy to utilise and deliver a service based on the four principles of the “A-EQUIP” model, which provides a continuous improvement process that builds upon personal and professional resilience, enhances quality of care for women and supports preparedness for midwives in appraisal and professional revalidation.
The aim is that this continuous improvement process of the “A-EQUIP” model will become an intrinsic part of everyone’s job, every day in all parts of the healthcare system (NHS England 2016).
We provide care for the residents of three diverse London boroughs. Most of our 7,800 permanent staff live in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge and the majority are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. We also provide healthcare services to people in south west Essex, and specialist neurosciences services to the whole of the county.
Our services include all the major specialties of large acute hospitals and we operate from two main sites - King George Hospital in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London – more than 300,000 people visited our A&Es in 2023. We also provide outpatient services at Brentwood Community Hospital, Barking Community Hospital, Loxford Polyclinic, and Harold Wood Polyclinic.
We’re pleased to be leading the way in reducing the time our patients wait to get the treatment they need. The Elective Surgical Hub at King George Hospital is one of eight to be accredited as part of a national scheme; the Care Quality Commission has raised the ratings for urgent and emergency care at Queen’s and King George hospitals; and data released by NHS England showed that the Trust was the most improved in 2023 for reducing waits for emergency care.
We are particularly proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre; Radiotherapy Centre; Hyper Acute Stroke Unit; and dedicated breast care service at King George Hospital. We’re also part of the North East London Cancer Alliance.
