Six years of independent midwifery in London

Abstract:

Presented for the NZCOM Conference I feel very, very honoured to be invited to speak in New Zealand where you have in place the system of domiciliary midwifery which I would love to see in Great Britain. I assure you that we are way behind you in this department. A few weeks ago I had a phone call from a New Zealand midwife who was visiting London. She wanted to meet me to find out how the system worked there. When I learnt that she was a domiciliary midwife with 300 home births to her credit, I didn't get around to telling her much. I was too busy picking her brains!
