Deb Little

Deb became a midwife in Scotland after working as an obstetrical nurse where she realized the many gaps in the conventional maternity care system in Canada. When she returned from Scotland, Deb began working toward seeing midwifery care become a reality for women in her home of Canada.  

She was one of the founding board members of the College of Midwives of BC in 1995.  Deb has been a practicing midwife since 1979. She was one of the originators of the Grace Hospital Midwifery Pilot Project in Vancouver in 1983 and later the director of the program. Until 1998 she was the Midwifery Department Head at BC Women's Health Centre, Vancouver.

Deb is currently the Chief of the Department of Midwifery here on Vancouver Island South where she takes a keen interest in midwifery education and health promotion.
