The challenges facing midwives
Antenatal care follows a calendar
One appointment a month, then every two weeks. The rhythm is known in advance and rarely booked in advance.
With Kagenda
Book a whole course of sessions at once, one after another.
Recurring appointments
Birth preparation happens in groups
Eight sessions, six couples, sign-ups by email and a spreadsheet that overflows.
With Kagenda
Every session in one place, by day, week or month.
One central calendar
Home visits
Driving not counted, addresses sent by text, days that overrun.
With Kagenda
Charge for the journey automatically by distance, for appointments at the client.
Travel fees
Emergencies that shift everything
You leave, and the next three appointments have to be told one by one.

Texts and emails go out before every appointment, with nothing to remember.

Practical guide: Midwives
- Book the antenatal schedule on recurrence from the first appointment: the rhythm is known.
- Preparation sessions declared with a number of places: sign-ups close by themselves.
- Travel charges by area and buffer time equal to the average drive for home visits.
- A required "address, floor, entry code" field for visits: ten minutes saved every time.
- Keep a daily buffer slot: in this work, the day moves.

Does Kagenda hold clinical records?
No. It is a diary.
What applies to independent midwifery in the UK?
Registration first: "midwife" is a protected title, you must be on the Nursing and Midwifery Council register, and article 45 of the Nursing and Midwifery Order 2001 makes it a criminal offence for anyone other than a registered midwife or doctor to attend a woman in childbirth except in a sudden emergency or while training. Revalidation runs on a three-year cycle. The hard part of independent practice is indemnity: since 2014 it has been a legal requirement for registration to hold an appropriate indemnity arrangement covering your scope of practice, and the availability and cost of cover for intrapartum care has repeatedly constrained the sector — check what your cover actually includes before advertising birth services. Add CQC registration where the activity is a regulated activity.
