Title: Midwifery Strengths
|
Hi Brenda
Don't know if this made it on to the list - it
didn't show up my end! Apologies if it is a double up.
Also, thanks to the other responses I received
on the subject. It is really interesting reading about the models of care
available at the moment and clearly there isn't a one size fits all.

Not exactly Brenda. The idea of
antenatal, birth and postnatal care all by the one midwife (in a
hospital setting) rather than a team approach which exists in a few places as
mentioned.

Rosebud offers
full Midwifery Antenatal care with known midwife but no MW
specifically on-call for the birth.
Is that what you mean
?

Just wondering if there are any
midwifery models within a hospital setting in Australia offering 1-2-1
care, apart from "team midwifery" models where there may be a
primary midwife but a team approach to after hours on-call.

Strengths
Dear Renee
I will give a strength from the
consumer perspective!
The power of the relationship between a woman
and a midwife. When it works there is nothing a woman cannot do. The
impact of that trust and that belief in being with woman has the
capacity to transform lives.
Read Andrew Bissits afterward in
Having a Great Birth in Australia He comments on the trust and the
relationship women have with midwives providing 1-2-1 care.
Something the vast majority of other carers (and midwives in
fragmented models) cannot achieve.
Gee I wish I was writing this
essay (shame I dont want to be a MW!) I would approach the core of
strength from the perspective of when midwives actually do as the word
means be with woman
So to be with her one should know her, and
put her as central to the process. To do this she comes first and
Hospital protocols after and Drs timeframes after etc. I guess the
real strength is when practice is optimal.
Kind

Hi all.
I am a 1st
year B.Mid student writing the obligatory essay on Midwifery
in
Australia. No easy feat really and I need to outline some strengths
and weaknesses. Well there is plenty out there about what is wrong
with
Midwifery Services and what the threats are (New Idea anyone?)
but not
a lot talking about what is right with it, besides the
inherent fact
that it works!! So I thought I'd do a little bit of a
survey and ask
you all what you think are the strengths. What do you
all see as being
great about being a Midwife in Australia?? Your
feedback would be most
appreciated.
Renee
