As one of the midwives attending yesterday's midwifery intensive tour in
Launceston i can confirm the fact that it was indeed a wonderful workshop
for all the reasons Andrea has stated. Well done Andrea as it was a
fantastic event. The midwives speaking were great, passionate and awe
inspiring speakers. It was the best keeping birth normal event that birth
international have put together (in my opinion). Midwives planning to attend
in the near future workshops i'm sure will also enjoy. It was such a
positive day with lots discussion, story telling, beautiful videos, sharing
knowledge and experiences and practical opportunities.

> The first event of this tour, in Launceston, was a wonderful event. The
> presentations were fabulous - there wasn't a dry eye in the house when
> Vicki Chan roused us all to new heights of emotion with her lovely new
> video ("A child is born") and her practical session on dealing with OP
> labours was really useful. Her long list of techniques to try was really
> innovative.
>
> Lynne Staff again inspired us all with her presentation on facilitating
> VBAC and the group worked on strategies for better education for women
> during her practical session.

> Maggie Banks is one of the most "with women" midwives there is and her
calm
> attitude towards viewing breech birth as a variation rather than a
> complication was refreshing. The discussion about the Term Breech Trial
and
> ideas for instigating change to encourage vaginal breech birth were very

> The Melbourne event is today (Saturday) and is full - we had to close it

> May 10 and Albury on Tuesday May 11. You can register online at our

> There are no plans to repeat this amazing event, so if you can make one of
