The Great Birth Rebellion

Episode 50 - The state of the Midwifery workforce


Listen Later

Mel and B invited Lynnelle Moran (Midwifery Lecturer) and Alison Weatherstone (Chief Midwife at the Australian College of Midwives) to discuss the current state of the midwifery work force in Australia and internationally. It was inspired by Lynnelles’ new publication entitled 'What is known about midwives' wellbeing and resilience? An integrative review of the international literature'. You can get access to the full article by joining our mailing list. You can also see what happens at Lynnelles ‘Va journal’ club through her social media handle @vajournalclub

Lynelle is now also hosting an online VaJournal club for any midwives who are members of the assembly of rebellious midwives. Register your interest in the assembly at www.melaniethemidwife.com 

BIG PODCAST CHANGE OCCURS from episode 75 onwards where Mel takes the reins completely and hosts the podcast solo along with an incredible raft of expert guests.
