Julie,
I am after some references supporting that women gain from having antenatal care
by midwives in conjunction with GP's along the lines of what you have
said,thanks pete malavisi.
Excellent letter Mary, living in Busselton it is with sadness that I read
the letter from S.Keough. There is a real job out there just change the
mindset of perfect and what is classified as normal these days, well done. pete

Now Justine you are really appealing to the boys on the list, now you are
talking cars, but on a more serious note, you are dead right, NMAP is
achievable for this country and as I was told at one australian college of
midwives meeting that those who are not in tune with us in moving forwards

I'm not too fussed whether it is salaried or contract but believe the
service has to provided by the government and those who want to work
privately can continue to do so. I personally don't like dealing with the

good
on you Jo, you're spot we need to do this together, we have a local group here
and sadly I am often the only midwife who attends the meetings and all I can
think of is where is everyone else? Last week I put up a notice to set up a
working party of midwives to look at our local

us have been in similar situations, and yes it is very important to question why
these situations arise and is there any way that we could have done it better, I
believe we must constantly review our practices and speak
We had our own mini lauch in south west of WA and have managed to get a

I have a request to put to the list, could people email me with names of
computer software and how good they think they are, that they use in their
maternity units. I am particularly
interested in those programs that collect antenatal info and care, labour

Happy NMAP launch to all those who have put a huge amount of effort into
getting this off the ground. This is truly a milestone for Australian

Mary you are right there is some review but no one really knows about it down

such channels! Would really love to know more about

somewhat get annoyed with new programs or services that don't go all the way in
providing "continuity of carer", sure it may not suit all but I believe it
should be part of baseline services everywhere then you can let the women and

Dear Jo and all,

Just catching up on the emails, I fully agree with Mary, Carolyn and Lois
and all your cases are so typical of what happens out there in the real
world. It would be nice not to have these added pressures, one can hope
that with time and as more women opt for midwife led care that the tables

For those who are not aware this is a mulidisciplinary course offered to
