RE: [ozmidwifery] "training"

Dear All,

 

It is a real disappointment to me that the national ACMI competencies have not been adopted by NSW nurses registration board.  It deminishes midwifery as a profession when there is this division.

Dear Liz

The ACMI competency standards have not been adopted by all registering authorities. For example the Nurses Registration Board of NSW has a set of seven competencies for midwives which bear little resemblance to the ACMI competencies.  They can be access at www.nursesreg.nsw.gov.au.

Part of my role is to assess overseas qualified midwives seeking authorisation to practice midwifery.  Happy to talk to you about that at anytime

Janet

Dear midwife students.

I need to review a training program/strategy.

Can anyone send me something, with competencies/objectives??

Many thanks

Hi Liz....
try the ACMI webite at www.acmi.org.au...under the link of profssional documents you will find the ACMI Competency Standards for Midwives (2002). These standards are the minimum 'benchmarks' for midwifery practice.
