Although I have discussed the challenges associated with establishing this role, on reflection I think this is possibly one of the best jobs in midwifery today. The diversity experienced through the post is amazing and the ability to work clinically, while having a leadership role that impacts on the service, research and education agendas, is both powerful and unique. I hope this has given you some insight into my post and demonstrated how innovative and exciting the consultant role actually is. I believe these posts have real potential to influence our profession and the service we provide for women and families and hope this is evident. However, none of this can be achieved without networking and having the support of a range of people across a variety of organisations.
