Redundancy = opportunity

24 hours after being told my job has come to an end, I’ve taken the first steps towards becoming self-employed and working as an independent midwife. It’s scary and exciting all at the same time but there are a few of us that are going to go down this route and several women that we have looked after so far seem interested in having us continue to look after them so it’s a good starting point. I’m planning on registering with the staff bank at my local hospital as well so I’ve got something else as a back-up if needed.
