I have certificates dropping out of my trouser leg for my job. The definition of which is..... Expert in normal childbirth. I think that this expertise is only aquired through experience. Many newly qualified staff still have no idea about certain aspects of the job and ask for help from senior members of staff, even though the newly qualifieds have their certificates.

Skill and expertise are developed through repeated performance of the task. Experienced midwives can be called on as expert witnesses in court cases involving childbirth. I hope the day never comes when they call me.......

I wouldn't know whether to consider my role as skilled or expert, I guess I've never really given it much thought..
