* Supporting IOL flow between the Antenatal ward and Delivery suite, ensuring timely transfer of women from the Delivery suite to the postnatal ward or other areas as appropriate.

* Providing leadership to midwifery and non‑midwifery staff, ensuring effective management of daily activity and throughput within the maternity unit.
* Maintaining high standards of midwifery care, reducing length of stay, and responding to individualised needs to increase client satisfaction.
