Wellington Midwifery Practice
Roisin O’Connor / Southern, EasternCentral / email:
Hi, I'm Roisin. I'm from Ireland where I trained and qualified as a midwife. I worked in the National Maternity Hospital in Dublin which gave me great experience in both normal and complex pregnancy and birth. In 2015 I moved to New Zealand and began working at Wellington Hospital where I gained wider knowledge of the New Zealand maternity system. I hope to share my skills and knowledge with you and your family and I endeavour to provide professional women centred care. I work within a team of similar minded midwives working within an on call system for labour and urgent calls so that you always have a well-rested midwife ensuring the safety of you and your baby throughout pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period.
