[Birth Centre-MBH]

Sorry didn't make it quite clear what I was meaning.... we can have the other students (nurses, medical etc) in the maternity unit, not here in the BC.   Michelle     >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/25/05 09:16am >>> I don't know all the details..... it has come down from higher up (DON I think).  Apparently we can have work experience students in the unit, as well as student nurses and medical students who are unpaid, but not student midwives. Supposedly it has got something to do with litigation, insurance etc (???)  We aren't happy about it as we feel that the birth centre has so much to offer in terms of students really seeing what normal birth is about.  Like I said I don't know all the details but our NUM used to be a homebirth midwife as well as work here at the BC and I'm sure she is doing everything she can to change the situation.    Cheers Michelle     >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/24/05 09:43pm >>> Curious as to reasons Michelle, can you explain? ----- Original Message ----- From: Michelle Windsor To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 8:50 PM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Clinical experiences Hi Lindsay,   Sorry we can't offer you anything in Mackay at the birth centre.  At present we are unable to have student midwives in the BC or the maternity unit unless they are actually on staff and paid.  Hope something works out for you somewhere else.  Are there still some midwives doing homebirths in Cairns?   Cheers Michelle Lindsay Kennedy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi For my Diploma of midwifery I need to do some hours of 'alternative birthing'. Originally I planned to go to Selangor in Nambour, but am worried about the cost and practicality of this. The other possibility is Mareeba as it is closer... can anyone give me some input or ideas? I live in Townsville. Ideally I am looking to do 2 weeks in October as I have leave booked. Thanks Lindsay -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
