My name is
Bushra Hatahet
I am a UK trained midwife, a graduate from the University of Manchester, with a Bachelor of Midwifery in 2009.
My journey into midwifery began at the tender age of 17, inspired by the care a dear family member received at the hospital. That’s when my nurturing side kicked into high gear.
Fast forward to October 2004, I found myself supporting my sister during the birth of her child. Watching those incredible midwives caring for her, empowering her both physically and mentally, left me in awe. I was hooked. I dove headfirst into researching midwifery, its history, scope, and its positive impact on people’s lives. I devoured medical journals, watched childbirth videos, and realized this was my true calling.
Throughout my undergrad years, I was fortunate to have amazing university tutors, clinical mentors, and fellow midwives. The women who allowed me to be part of their journey, helping me become the midwife I am today, hold a special place in my heart.
My training took place in Manchester, a vibrant and diverse city. Exposure to various cultures, religions, and traditions was crucial in shaping my approach to care.
After graduating in 2009, I worked as a qualified midwife in a big teaching hospital. I worked in the community where we did home births and waterbirths and also on the labour ward.
In 2014, I took the leap of faith and became an expat in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Over the last 9 years, I’ve been caring for women in the antenatal, labour, and postpartum phases at the capital’s largest hospital.
In 2020, I was promoted to a labour ward coordinator, overseeing shifts to ensure patient safety and high-quality care.
My mantra as a midwife has always been to empower you and your families, making sure you feel fully informed about the changes your body will undergo during this incredible journey.
