IMPACT | Ep 1 | Midwifery Prison Project

Welcome to CQUniversity’s newest podcast series: IMPACT, a podcast that explores ground-breaking research projects and their real-world impacts.

In this launch episode, Isis ‘Issy’ Symes speaks with Dr Adele Baldwin, the lead researcher in CQUniversity’s Midwifery Prison Project.

Dr Baldwin delves deep into Townsville-based project, explaining its origins, findings, and the ongoing achievements of the initiative supporting prison inmates through pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period to establish vital connections with their newborns.  

She also explains how the project has evolved into something much bigger, including the development of an Australian Birth Charter and a new program for imprisoned dads M2: Midwives for Men.
