Training on Advanced Midwifery Leadership: Strengthening Clinical and Managerial Capacity
Course Overview
What is Advanced Midwifery Leadership?
Advanced midwifery leadership focuses on empowering senior midwives with the clinical authority, managerial competence, and strategic leadership skills required to lead maternity services. It integrates evidence-based clinical excellence with health systems leadership, enabling midwives to influence policy, improve quality of care, and drive better maternal and newborn outcomes.
Many senior midwives are promoted into leadership roles without formal training in management, leadership, and health systems governance. This results in gaps in team coordination, quality assurance, resource management, and service delivery—ultimately affecting maternal and neonatal outcomes.
This course equips senior midwives with practical leadership frameworks, clinical governance tools, and management skills to effectively lead maternity units, supervise teams, and improve service delivery. It emphasizes both clinical excellence and strategic leadership to strengthen healthcare systems.
