Editorial: A world of fun discoveries

Abstract:

Many midwives describe midwifery as a calling or a vocation. I never felt “called” to the role but, once I became a midwife 37 years ago, I never wanted to do anything else. Being a midwife has always provided a deeply satisfying and meaningful focus within my life. Similarly, the role of midwifery researcher has provided fulfilment as I explored the world of midwifery and the positive impact that midwives have on the women they care for. For me, research has indeed been a world of fun discoveries. Now, though, it is time for me to refocus my life as I retire from my work as Journal co-editor and midwifery advisor at the College and say, Hello to a new world, one which is free of schedules, time clocks and company rules and where there is time to discover other passions.
