Dear Sue,

Following the success of Having a Great Birth in Australia and the completion of Men at Birth (in press), the Australian College of Midwives has decided to publish a book detailing the work of caseload midwives.

As demand for caseload midwives increases across Australia, more and more midwives are seeking information about this way of working. To help provide more information about the nature of caseload, its joys and difficulties and its benefits and challenges, the College is inviting midwives who have experience of caring for a caseload of women or experience of following women through pregnancy, labour, birth and early parenting, to contribute to a new book.

The College invites members (and non members) to write about their experience for the new College publication With Women - from shiftwork to caseload. As well as midwives experiences being chronicled in the book, the College is also seeking contributions from midwives' partners and children, to illustrate the impacts of shiftwork and caseload midwifery on the midwife's personal life.

I would be most grateful if you would consider writing or passing this information on to your colleagues or anyone else who may be interested. To obtain a copy of the Writer's Guidelines and more information about this project, please email me at: greatbirth@acmi.org.au

I very much look forward to hearing from you.

With best wishes,

David
