Dear Anne,
I am fully aware of what you are proposing, I am
simply stating the supports you are admirably seeking to implement already
exist.
The fact you have raised this as a need, in
turn alerts me to the fact that we need to let more midwives know
about these options of support.
Perhaps I have misunderstood your'e initial email
which was I thought to set up contact and support for all midwives working
in continuity of care models. Or are you only speaking of birth centre midwives
?
This is why I have suggested the ACMI website
has the means for this type of dialogue now too, in addition to the ASIM and the
MC Midwives links.
For what it is worth and I sincerely hope I have
misunderstood your intention here, I would be concerned that a list for
midwives practising in continuity of care (and continuity of carer)
models should ever state it is not consumer focused.
Mothers and midwives will only ever advance
maternity service provision and the midwifery profession in Australia, working
united together.
Kind Regards,
Sally-Anne
NB: To all ozmidders, my apologies for the
typo of putting the abbreviation 'ACMI' in my previous email in the segment on
the Australian Society of Independent Midwives which should have read
'ASIM'.
