The workshop will also focus on the psychosocial aspects of providing emergency care as part of the midwife’s role in supporting women, people and whānau, with opportunities for midwives to share practice experiences to reflect and help sustain them in practice.
Workshop:
23 November – Helensville
Workshop costs:
The workshops are fully funded through Midwifery Recruitment and Retention so there is no cost to attend. To enable professional discussion places are limited, book early to avoid disappointment.
