Burwood Continuity of Midwifery Care Scheme

Abstract:

On 26 September 1994, the Burwood Birthing Service initiated a 'Continuity of Midwifery Care Scheme' based in the Burwood Birthing Unit and Burwood Hospital, Christchurch. Seven midwives offer continuity of care to all women birthing in the Unit who have not engaged the services of an independent midwife. Burwood Hospital is situated 10km from the centre of Christchurch and about 550-600 births take place in the Birthing Unit annually.
