Presented by Dr Karen Mclaughlin



A Clinical Midwife Specialist, researcher and academic with almost 30 years clinical nursing/midwifery experience. My main area of research is Asthma in Pregnancy, examining the role of midwives in the antenatal management of asthma and the management of asthma in pregnancy from the viewpoint of health professionals and pregnant women with asthma. As an academic in the School of Nursing and Midwifery teaching into the Bachelor of Midwifery Degree at University of Newcastle, I am passionate about providing clinical relevant and evidence-based information to the students and ensuring that they are given the opportunity to explore the Art of Midwifery and gain the knowledge and skills required to become passionate and proficient midwives.
