I agree with you Sally, but midwives in the new midwifery led models would probably need case loading skills and the truth is that many midwives work in the current fragmented system that is doctor oriented. They probably will need "Upskilling" in woman centered holistic care. MM
"Sheesh.. The old credentialing crap. Midwives do not need to be credentialed to provide care for low risk women. That is what we are trained to do. Credentialing should be for things that are outside the scope of normal midwifery care. Things like epidurals, interpreting electronic fetal monitoring, induction of labour etc. This drives me crazy!!!!
