ACMI Accreditation requirements.

[Mary Murphy]

Dear All, I am writing on behalf of some W.A. midwives who have not met the criteria in the following areas: 1. Articulate formal quality assurance initiatives. 2. Articulate formal self-evaluation. eg reflective practice journal 3. Articulate formal processes of peer review. Use the cues "Plans/Process/Outcomes"  "evaluation tools"   Now I know I have been in private practice for 16 years and kept my nose clean and done lots of other worthy things in life, however I have never been able to make head nor tale of those requirements when I see them on an application form.  It seems that we have none of those processes in place and would like to have some advice from those midwives who successfully articulate/demonstrate the above.  I am particularly interested in midwives who practice autonomously and therefore have no-one directly observing or evaluating their practice, and those who have obtained ACMI accreditation by successfully demonstrating/articulating the above to the satisfaction of the accreditation panel. Yours in anticipation, Mary Murphy
