About the Project
Project Summary:
Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Maternity Service has initiated a service development programme to offer a single ‘confident childbirth’ antenatal intervention, which teaches women and their partners psychological strategies to maintain a calm and positive approach during the labour and birth process. The optional 1.5 hour sessions will be conducted by independent practitioners and supported by downloadable MP3 recordings which can assist women in the rehearsal of the psychological strategies.
This service will go live in the summer of 2013; it will be key to empowering women and supports the normalisation of birth. Once established the intention is to focus on researching the impact of the service on women’s experience of their pregnancy and labour. A midwifery clinical fellow will have the opportunity to lead this research, which we hope will make a valuable contribution to our service and wider midwifery evidence base.
The research approach is likely to mixed methods to enable evaluation of both the outcomes for women and their neonates, include safety data and normal birth rates, as well as data on maternal experience.
Project Description:
The Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Southampton working in partnership with Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, is offering a Clinical Academic Doctoral Fellowship for a qualified midwife.
The successful candidate will spend two days per week as a Band 5 Registered Midwife in the maternity service, Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and 3 days per week working on the PhD research study. You will join a thriving and expanding group of Clinical Academic Doctoral Fellows based at the Clinical Academic Facility, Southampton General Hospital for the academic component of the Fellowship.
The Fellowship is for 4 years will begin in September 2013. You will be supported by an annual £14,000 stipend and an additional sum of £800 to support additional training and development costs during the Fellowship.
This is an exciting opportunity and will enable aspiring individuals to combine clinical practice with a research role, working across the University and Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust. The successful candidate will work with their nominated clinical mentor and a Faculty of Health Sciences academic mentor in a tri-partite arrangement to develop their clinical academic role in both practice and University settings.
It is essential that you have successfully achieved a 2:1. It would be desirable if you have achieved a 1st class honours degree.
