Education Workshop: New Zealand College of Midwives Code of Conduct/Ethics

Abstract:

The following is part of the compilation produced at the NZCOM Education Workshops held at Victoria University on the 12-14th February 1992. There were 39 participants representing a wide cross section of midwifery and consumers of the maternity services. The workshops were founded in part by the Workforce Development Fund (Dept. of Health), the NZCOM and the generosity of the participants themselves. The impetus for such a gathering came from the changes to maternity services initiated by the Nurses Amendment Act 1990. It was seen as imperative that midwives take a proactive stance on the myriad of issues which have arisen as a result of midwifery independence.
