Frequently Asked Questions for Midwives
Important: MidwifePlus is a marketplace platform that connects independent midwives with prospective clients. MidwifePlus does not provide midwifery services and is not a party to any agreement between a midwife and a client.
How does MidwifePlus work?
Clients submit enquiries through the platform. Midwives can review available opportunities and choose whether to unlock the client’s contact details using tokens.
What are tokens?
Tokens are the platform’s internal currency used to access a client’s contact details and enquiry information.
How do I purchase tokens?
Tokens can be purchased through your MidwifePlus account. Current pricing is displayed on the platform.
Are tokens refundable?
No. All token purchases are non-refundable. Before unlocking an enquiry, you should carefully review the location and details provided to ensure the opportunity is suitable for your practice.
What happens when I use a token?
Once a token is used, you will gain access to the client’s contact details, allowing you to contact them directly to discuss their requirements.
Does MidwifePlus guarantee that I will secure work?
No. Purchasing or using tokens does not guarantee that a client will engage your services.
Can multiple midwives unlock the same enquiry?
Yes. A client enquiry may be visible to multiple midwives, and clients remain free to choose whether to engage any particular midwife.
How do I get paid?
All fees for services are agreed directly between you and the client. MidwifePlus does not collect, process, or manage payments for your professional services.
What are my responsibilities as an independent midwife?
You are responsible for maintaining your NMC registration, professional indemnity insurance, training, compliance, record-keeping, and adherence to all applicable professional and legal requirements.
Do I need professional insurance?
Yes. You must maintain appropriate professional indemnity insurance and any other insurance required for your practice.
Who is responsible for the care provided to clients?
You are solely responsible for the services you provide, your clinical decisions, and your professional practice.
What happens if a client raises a concern or complaint?
Clients should raise concerns directly with you in the first instance. As an independent practitioner, you are responsible for managing complaints relating to your services.
Will MidwifePlus investigate complaints?
No. MidwifePlus does not investigate clinical complaints, determine professional misconduct, or adjudicate disputes between clients and midwives.
Can MidwifePlus remove my profile?
Yes. MidwifePlus reserves the right to suspend or remove profiles that do not comply with platform terms, onboarding requirements, or applicable legal and professional obligations.
Who can I contact for support?
For technical issues or questions about using the platform, please contact the MidwifePlus support team via the Contact Us page.
