Marianne,
This document outlines how referral and collaboration should work in New
Zealand
http://www.health.govt.nz/publication/guidelines-consultation-obstetric-and-
related-medical-services-referral-guidelines
It has definitions of levels of care and how referral and discussion with
women are to be handled
The process maps are very good (in my opinion)

Subject: shared care and curriculum
Dear all,
I am looking for a document in which collaboration between midwives and
specialists in obstetric care is written down. Hopefully there is something
written about shared care and law and criteria for risk selection and
indications for care by a specialist or midwife.
In Holland we have such a list but it does not say anything about shared
care; it divides the pregnant women and their care in low and high risk.
We slowly move to a different health care system in which shared care is an
important topic. Therefore we need criteria to underpin obstetric management
in different situations and relate that to the curriculum and training of
midwives.
As I know in Sweden, Canada, England, New Zealand midwives work in different
organisations of care. It would be very helpful if you could send me
important articles or documents.
Thank you very much,
