Hi, I am currently undertaking my
Masters in Mid, tackling the subject of accreditation/credentialling of
independent midwives. In the light of current PI issues, and the NMAP push,
I felt that all efforts at improving the 'professional image' would be
positive. But, I am having great difficulty finding appropriate references.
I am aware of the ACMI guidelines and work for the Community Midwifery
Program of WA but need to know what 'accreditation/credentialling is
available for other MWs particularly in other states, but also other
countries. Also thanks Rhonda for the ant story... I am also trying
that approach of 'God I know these references are out there, please help me
find them'. I have noticed a distinct lack of ants in the Library
though where I spend much time so maybe I need to take up rock climbing.
Thanks, all help is appreciated, Laraine.
Hi
Laraine
In NZ all midwife practitioners who take on their own case-load
reflect on their practice on a regular basis and submit their records to the
NZ College of Midwives annually. If the self-reflection process reveals some
perceived inadequacies in her practice the midwife can ask for a College
assessor to give guidance.
It is one of the best systems to maintain
credentialling standards that I have ever seen and I’m sure you could get
details by emailing Karen Guilliland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> . I’m not sure
if this is still her email address but give it a try.
Good luck with your
search, the NZ College would probably have references for you as
well.
Cheers
Jan
