Kate joined the ICM in September 2024 as a Midwifery Advisor. She is a midwife and recently completed a MsC in Global maternal Health. She has extensive experience in education, training, clinical practice, research and leadership and she has provided leadership and training to organisations globally to support the development of midwifery practice and respectful maternity care.

Kate’s most recent role was as a Consultant Midwife in the UK, where she supported women and families making complex birth plans , provided clinical leadership in intrapartum settings and supported national projects to support early career midwives and multi-professional training teams, both in and out of hospital.

Kate also spent two years strengthening midwifery practice in India, supporting a program that ensured nurses and midwives were trained to ICM’s Essential Competencies in Midwifery practice. This program included supporting midwives in public and private healthcare settings and developing a midwife-led birthing centre.
