Midwifery and Newfoundland and Labrador

Newfoundland and Labrador: Establishing midwifery is a long-term investment because it takes policy changes, time and effort to integrate practitioners and a period of time to have sufficient midwives to have an impact on the provision of maternity care, Sullivan said. , according to The Telegram. Mary Hodge of the Association of Midwives of Newfoundland and Labrador said shes disappointed it will take so long, but welcomes the fact there is some movement toward licensing the profession. Thats after she released the report Implementing Midwifery in Newfoundland and Labrador which is meant to help guide the establishment of midwifery in Newfoundland and Labrador. We will continue to work with the provincial midwifery body as they form their professional college and provide submissions for the development of regulations. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
