Improving the management of midwifery

What an exciting day I have had today! It has been the first day of the Managing Midwifery program and we have a great mix of managers from all over the country - Darwin, Alice Springs, Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney and several rural areas of NSW and Queensland. Their commitment and energy to improving midwifery is inspiring and many spoke of the new directions they were already implementing in the maternity services in their area.

Half of today's program was devoted to exploring the workings of a number of different models of midwifery care that have proven successful. The rest of the day (and most of tomorrow) will focus on developing team work and people management skills. Specific issues such motivating others, finding solutions for problems, working within complex organisations and getting the best from people are also on the agenda, as is dealing with bullying and horizontal violence in the workplace.

I have the strong feeling that while we may be able to achieve some modest goals for the individuals in the group (given the limited time we have), this workshop will prove that ongoing work in these areas is sorely needed, not just for these and other managers, but for midwives more generally.

I am going to investigate developing a new series of one day workshops that we can make available across the country that will build on these themes. I feel sure that a one day program that enables, for example, the rebuilding of dysfunctional teams in a unit would be beneficial. I will check this out tomorrow as part of our wrap up....
