Hi Debbie,
Have you thought about caseloading. Its more cost effective and woman centred than team models. I dont have references but Im sure some of the other wonderful women on the list can help.
regards
Diane

    Hi all, Am in the midst of an assignment which entails developing
    a proposal for team midwifery in my rural unit here at Orange. I
    need some more references to support this alternative model of
    care from a traditional medical model. In anticipation, Debbie

Apologies for the formatting, its a cut'n'paste jobbie.... Im sure there are more but this is off the top of my head... Re the team mid thing, I refer you to the Sandall 1999 article - not the only report to show that team midwifery is not as sustainable (for the midwives) as caseload or continuity of carer.
