Ella Rudwick-Niewold, said: "Many midwives leave the profession, or even graduate from uni and never start, due to these extreme staff shortages and us not being able to provide the care to women, birthing people, and their families that they deserve and that we'd like to, because there just isn't enough time in the day to get everything done."
