[ozmidwifery] Independant Practice

[Rosemary & Wayne Weckert]

Thanks Mary. If I wanted to start private practice here in Alice I have to have ACMI accreditation to gain visiting priveleges to the hospital, it is one of the pre-requisites. Mind you another is to have indemnity insurance. At the moment I'm gaining experiance and will apply for the ACMI accreditation. I'm not too hopeful about getting accredited as all the births are in the hospital. (except the birth that happened in the car on the way to ASH, but that's another story). I'm working very hard and so far I have very positive feedback from the families. I have just had the 8th birth on the project. I am not able to take on any new clients and dread  the thought of having to say no.  Regards Rosemary
