Here in Toowoomba we are working towards a submission for caseload midwifery
within the mainstream health services.
We expect about 10% of women to take up the offer of MMC (I know, we are
still going to move ahead in spite of what has happened at John Hunter).
The midwives on the unit have asked me to ask midwives who have made the
switch from traditional shift work to caseload to describe what the
transition was like and particularly focus on the perceived negatives of
being on-call and maybe spending long hours at some labours.
I would appreciate your responses which I will then share with interested
midwives.
Thanks,
Kathleen
