Greetings Soo, Ans et al, I am currently in Cambodia as UNFPA consultant writing a 4 yr midwifery degree curriculum. Firstly it woud be great to have a repository of infomation/resources etc to assit in this task. Although I do have a good basis now it had been a very time consuming and at times frustrating search. I have also managed to gather some curriculum of various lengths to assist and to make some good connections  .  Great to see ICM developing standards and I have the draft of those.  I would be happy to share my curriculum with anyone who would like it Also to have ICM hold a database of those with experience in this area would be great.

As for the grey lit.  Well in-country it has proved also very time consuming- NGOs, UN organisations and various ministries all have very good resourses, reports and research  about the local context  to inform teaching. Locating them is timeconsuming,  however it is the easy part.  Getting them to the teachers in a usable form is the challenge- language being the most difficult along with limited teacher capacity.

It would be supurb if those of us working on teaching of midwifery  in low resource countries could have a ready forum for support and shared discussion as it seems that there are lots of us doing this right now, both preservice and inservice. Best wishes
Joan

Dear Soo,
The Education Standing Committee of ICM is currently involved in the work on Global Standards of Midwifery Education as well as trying to get an overview of who is working where and how on educating midwives (as to scale of the workforce)- as to list expertise in this area (like the RAN- but then for Education). It is still is a large unknown area, but this is what I know:

-          There are UNFPA/ ICM midwifery advisers in the ICM regions; they might be able to give you the BEST advice on what is going on in their region. In Asia and Africa, they will be able to provide you with information on a gap analysis that ICM/ UNFPA did in their region re education, legislation and association. ICM will know their names.


-          There are other midwifery advisers/ consultants around that we do not yet have an overview of (who they are, what they do). I know some of them and their work, but there are a lot of blind spots. Most are involved in training or education midwives- we hope to get a better overview once the Global Standards are public and ready for implementation (by Mid 2011)- as they will be our partners.


-          Then there are other non-midwifery agencies who are also involved in training midwives. This will be the hardest part to get hold of; who, what, what is the quality. That would be the third partner to get an overview of as to collaborate.
It would be good though that all agencies/projects who want to be/ are involved in midwifery training/ education would co-operate closely with ICM and their local midwives on the spot, so that differences between  “midwifery” parties (local and from the (often abroad) project)) can be prevented and quality of education can be ensured.
Hope this helps a bit.  I can not find Jim’s address- but you might forward it to him.
Best wishes, Ans

Dear all

I intended to send you this email below a few weeks ago, but Im not sure if it went out, so Im resending it now. Can you please read the series of emails from Jim Campbell below, and see if you have any information that you could send him  that might be of interest to the topic above. He is also interested in others who may want to undertake research in this area.

All the best

Soo

Dear Soo,
If you could reach out to colleagues on their awareness of any grey literature that would be most appreciated. WHO/MPS has recently revised their estimates on 95% coverage in the 49 LMICs so there is now a need to model these numbers against country-specific context and translate these into funding and implementation requirements.  A possible UNFPA/ICM collaboration to prepare a State of the World’s Midwives Report would benefit from this research.
Regards,
Jim

Dear all

This sounds like a fascinating study - do you want me to put it on to the international confederation of midwives research elist to see if anyone has any information that can help? Might the Gates Foundation be interested in funding this under the new Melinda Gates call relating to maternal mortality, that was announced recently in the US?

all the best

Soo



Hi Petra,

I’m working on an internal
exercise for DFID to model the costs and
implications of scaling-up midwives to reach 95% coverage of SBA. Are you
aware of any country examples which have
modelled supply/demand and associated issues in any depth?  I’ve requested the
country reports from UNFPA’s MHTF
programme but not yet received them.

Thanks,

Jim
