Good grief this gets worse and worse. It so reminds
me of the insurers attitude about the recent home birth here in
Wangaratta.
Where has this directive come from? University
unsurers making decisions they know nothing about...namely normal
birth.
Frustrated and angry I don't have any answers to
this one. What can be done?

Subject: [ozmidwifery] UniSA Students no
longer able to attend births with Independant Midwives
Just got this email :(
Any suggestions on what we can do about it?
Dear BMid
Students
Please be advised that due to insurance and professional
indemity issues you are unable to follow through a woman if she is having her
care provided by an independent practicing midwife.
This would include the
continuum of pregnancy care, labour and birth and during the postpartum
period.
Models of care such as midwifery group practice and the Northern
Women's Community Midwifery Service will continue to be a valuable and
encouraged pattern of midwfery care for follow through experiences and are not
included in this advice.
