CONGRATULATIONS to the midwives of the Sunraysia Sub-Branch of the ACMI for the fantastic conference they organised "Midwives on the Murray" last weekend. We had a fantastic day with a very stimulating program which included -: Opening of the conference by Emma Thege-victorian midwife of the year Dr Alison Brookes speaking on "Effective midwifery and nursing communications:the challenge of unexpected birth outcomes - the child with a genetic condition Jane Warland - "Now or Never....Memory creation when a baby dies." Professor Marie Chamberlain-"Socialisation of midwifery students" Vicki Chan - "Birth Matters" The importance to the mother, the family and the community of how a baby comes into the world. The conference dinner was a meal on a paddle steamer cruising on the "Murray River". Thankyou to everyone involved and keep up the great work you are all doing. I am so looking forward to the National conference in Brisbane.
