Kim Burns
Litigation midwife
I am a midwife, health visitor and community nurse prescriber. I review and assist lawyers with mum, baby, and early childhood cases.
Get to know Kim
I worked for 3 Trusts of the North West of England, in the community delivering care and community clinics at clients homes, hospital clinics, GP surgeries and children’s centres. I have a wealth of knowledge around home birth, specialising within this area. I have a passion for early parenthood and support, and particularly early childhood development. I work in a bank capacity for a local Trust to maintain my skills and keep up to date with practice.
Career highlights
My passion is home birth and supporting families from early conception to 6 weeks post birth in my community case loading midwifery role. I was able to further my passion for this by continuing into my role as a health visitor. I love supporting families to love and nurture. I believe care in pregnancy and the early years can make the difference to parents and children, and change lives forever.
My role at Moscow-Mfc encompasses my experiences and enables me to have an excellent overview of the pregnancy and early years continuum and enables me to support clients where extra guidance is required.
I have a plethora of experience working with children’s social care and the wider multidisciplinary team and have supported families under child protection, child in need, early help and universal services. I am knowledgeable and contributed to assessments of children with disabilities and those who are on the neurodevelopmental pathway.
The extra mile
I remain in current practice on the NMC register and I am a member of the Royal College of Midwives and Institute of Health Visitors.
I regularly attend conferences including Kidz, Group B Strep Support, Primary Health Care Conferences and regular PROMPT and fetal monitoring training.
