Elizabeth Driver RN, RM, Dip He Midwifery (UK)

Fluent in English

As a registered nurse, midwife (and proud mum), with over 30 years experience in providing maternity care and education, Elizabeth has a passion for all and any project that will improve the care of mothers and their families.

Leaving the UK National Health Service in 1983, with the words 'you'll be back' ringing in her ears, Elizabeth ventured to Dubai for a short two year contract. However recognizing the need to provide local and expatriate women with midwifery care, in conjunction with the readily available obstetric led care, Elizabeth now offers women and their families care and advice as would be expected from any midwifery led unit in the UK.

Having worked in the Ministry of Health, Department of Health and the private sector Elizabeth has gained a significant insight into the maternity care available in Dubai. Helping families gain better life experiences during their pregnancy, childbirth and postnatal events underlies all that Elizabeth now strives to achieve.
