New Zealand College of Midwives National Conference, Auckland, 1998: Reflections on a Decade of Change

Abstract:

Midwifery in New Zealand has now had nearly a decade of rapid growth and development so it is time to reflect on what has happened, what shape we are in today and where we might be in another decade. Recalling the state of midwifery prior to 1990 and the passionate and hard won battle to achieve midwifery autonomy is something we all need to reflect on from time to time... I would like to explore two issues with you in this paper. The first is to describe my view of the state of midwifery in New Zealand today. The second will explore a vision for the future as the profession continues to develop and mature.
