Hi Leanne,
I would be very interested in learning more about your primary
midwifery model. I work in a tertiary referral hospital in Sydney and as a
consequence of the GMT2 thing going on here we have been asked by
the Area Stream Director (a gynaecologist who has no connection in
any way with obstetric practice) to develop proposals for midwifery led
care. I feel quite out of my depth and though I'm on the committee I don't
feel as if I can contribute much. It would be great to see how others have
instituted such models. We have a long-standing Team Midwifery program but
its long hours of rostering don't make it a viable proposition for
most of our midwives. Not all of us are able to make ourselves available
for 12 hour on call shifts etc. There must be other models running though,
I'd love to hear how yours works, especially as a couple I looked after a
few weeks ago described with a wealth of gratitude and nostalgia the
wonderful birth experience they had had in Canberra with their last baby-
obviously you are doing something right!
Many thanks,
Monica-------Original Message-------

Birth Centre?
I have a personal interest in a baby who is due in Canberra in May
03. The woman had her first baby 5 yrs ago and had a ?woman
obstetrician. she desn't know about any other model. I would
very much like to give her information about a midwifery model of
care. Can someone please send me information I can pass on?
Also, I will be visiting Canberra in 3 weeks and would very much like to
see your Birth centre. Is that possible? Thanks,
MM
