This message is from Robin Payne, who is a consumer activist extraordinaire, and runs the Choices for Childbirth work in Melbourne.
Dear friends I have become the consumer rep. on the Royal Australian & New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologist's (RANZCOG) curriculum development committee. Next Thursday (18th April) I will participate in a full day workshop on the curriculum with 15 other committee members (all members of RANZCOG). I am keen to represent as broad a view as possible although feel there are some fundamental commonalities that all women would expect from the obstetrician as her carer. I would value any feedback and comments from anyone who wishes to comment as I have been asked to make a 10 minute presentation at the study day on "A Consumer View of What the Obstetrician and Gynaecologist Needs to be Like in 2020". As this is coming up fairly soon your comments would be appreciated asap. Even if you just jot down key points, I can then incorporate them into what I'm saying. I will also be providing feedback via the Maternity Coalition journal Birth Matters on my presentation for the day. Please feel free to contact via email or on (03) 9380 2863 if you would like more info. thanks, Robin Payne --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
