About the Author:

Gail Johnson is a professional development advisor at the Royal College of Midwives (RCM). She is also responsible for the delivery of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) activities for midwives across the UK. As part of this role Gail has designed and delivered a number of successful large conferences for midwives, including the RCM Legal birth conference and the Bereavement conference. The model for these events has been rolled out across the UK.

Gail is also the project lead on the RCM e-learning initiative. The success of the online learning has resulted in a need to move to a different content management system, a process involving editing and translation of the original content to the new system whilst maintaining new content to ensure that members continued to get an excellent service. The new platform was launched at the International Confederation of Midwives conference in June 2014.

In addition Gail has worked with the RCM's Chief Executive Professor Cathy Warwick in advising the NHS Leadership Academy on leadership challenges for midwives and nurses, attending a number of development meetings.

Her leadership work has enabled her to work closely with senior midwives and local supervisory midwifery officers (LSAMO) to gain a greater understanding of the challenges of midwifery practice and the needs of service.

She also provides advice and consultancy to a number of external agencies both at national and international level on issues which impact on the wider health or public health issues. For examples she is the designated lead on stillbirth and bereavement care and work with the Department of Health (England) and Sands (UK) on the role of maternity services in reducing stillbirth and improving bereavement care.

She works closely with NSPCC on public health messaging and improving safety and outcomes for children and young people.

Prior to working at the Royal College of Midwives she worked for seven years in midwifery education as a senior lecturer in Cambridge.

In supporting midwives and representing the midwifery profession Gail is frequently asked to speak to the press and media on midwifery, maternity and women's health issues. She may be required to write press releases or comment to TV and radio on topical issues.
