THE final episode of a TV series following the work of Bradford midwives will be shown tonight.

Yorkshire Midwives On Call shows the work of the home birth team at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust during the last few months.

The fifth and final episode of the series will be broadcast on BBC Two at 8pm.

 

Mel Pickup, chief executive of Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, tweeted: “So looking forwards to tonight’s episode #YorkshireMidwivesOnCall all the more poignant it falling this week when we will be celebrating the International Midwives day. Can’t think of a better way to celebrate this vital role than checking in with our @BTHFT homebirth team.”

Previous episodes of the series included Michaela who assisted junior doctors Rebecca and Tim with a water birth for their second child.

Filming for the BBC Two series started last summer and continued until February this year.
