| Hello Belinda
|
| ACMI does have a number of philosophy and poisition statements.
| Within section 3.0.0
| regarding midwifery practice,
| statement 3.4.0 relates to
| Planned Out of Hospital Births.
| "Midwives who are conducting planned out of hospital births are responding
| to a need idendtified by the community.
| ACM recognises the right of healthy women to choose the place to give
birth.
| The College considers that it is the quality and nature of midwifery care
| provided at planned out of hospital births which is of prime importance and
| it is our concern that the highest possible standards of midwifery are
| maintained in all areas of practice. Therefore, we believe that the
| midwives working in this area should be those who are accredited
| Independently Practising Midwives."
|
| I'm not sure if this statement has been updated in recent years,perhaps
| Trish David could comment
|
| Cheers
|
| Jan Robinson
