The NHS has many community-based midwife positions, which are basically the same as a hospital midwife. The exception is that antenatal care is given in a community-based setting, where hospital midwives care for patients and newborns during labour and birth. If asked this question during your interview, you most likely are interviewing for a community-based midwife position. If so, the interviewers want to gain insight into your experience providing antenatal care. Be honest in your response, explaining if you have experience working in a community-based setting. If you do not have experience in this setting, describe how you learned about providing antenatal care during your midwife training.
