Gail Johnson began her career in nursing and has been a midwife for
more than 30 years.
In her midwifery practice Gail worked largely in the community with
a focus on normality before moving into midwifery education.
Gail's current role is as a professional advisor in education at
the Royal College of Midwives (RCM). She is responsible for the
delivery of continuing professional development (CPD) activities
for midwives across the UK and overseas. As part of this role Gail
has designed and delivered a number of successful large conferences
for midwives, including the RCM Legal birth conference and the
Bereavement conference. The model for these events has been rolled
out across the UK.
Gail is also the professional lead on the RCM e-learning
initiative, i-learn. The success of the online learning has seen
the content increase with over 80 courses available with new
content online throughout the year.
In addition Gail has worked with the RCM's Chief Executive
Professor Cathy Warwick in advising the NHS Leadership Academy on
leadership challenges for midwives and nurses, attending a number
of development meetings.
Her leadership work has enabled her to work closely with midwives
at all levels and recently worked with colleagues to design and
deliver multidisciplinary workshops for labour ward leaders,
addressing the challenges and cultures of maternity service.
She also provides advice and consultancy to a number of external
agencies both at national and international level on issues which
impact on wider health or public health issues. For examples she is
the designated lead on stillbirth and bereavement care and works
with the Department of Health (England) and Sands (UK) on the role
of maternity services in reducing stillbirth and improving
bereavement care.
In supporting midwives and representing the midwifery profession
Gail is frequently asked to speak to the press and media on
midwifery, maternity and women's health issues.
This is by far the best midwifery textbook I have read.it covers
everything a midwifery student would need to know and I believe it
is a fantastic buy - definitely a 'must have' for a budding
midwife....
This book is 'a must' for all those currently training as well as
those who are qualified. It covers in depth studies of conception
to birth and postpartum. There is also the website for
self-testing, a valuable addition to this excellent book..
