Hi Maggie
I am at the Mater in Brisbane
Australia, we currently have one team providing care to women antenatally
in the community with all intrapartum care within the hospital, it is not case
managed but is a team of 8.0 full time equivalents. I would like to learn more
about how you set up your cse loading, who manages the case load team, by the
team or is therre a manager within the health service that oversees the
budgets etc, how do women access your service, who employs you the hospital,
health service or a community group. How many women do you book a month, and
what women do you classify as vulnerable, low socio economic,
disabilities, domestic violence ???? I would really benefit from any advice you
could offer on the planning and difficulties yuo encountered with setting up and
ongoing management of the team. Many thanks Jocelyn

Introduction
Dear CherylMy name is Maggie Thomson and I am the Consultant
midwife at the Whittington in London. My focus is on public health but in
reality I look at most things. I have recently set up two caseload teams with
8 midwives in each working with vulnerable women. If you would like to chat
then let me know and I would be happy to help. What part of Scotland are you
in? You could always invite me up to present our work and I could help you
convince your HOM. I'm Dunfermline born and trained. Look forward to hearing
from you.
Hi
Just a quick intro to new list
I'm an F grade working in a busy consultant led unit in Scotland at
present, and am 5yrs qualified. A couple of my colleagues and I are
desperate for a change to working life and are currently working on putting in
a proposal to our head of midwifery re a caseloading group practice - maybe 4
of us caseloading around 35 women each.
Our trust has nothing like this and community midwives currently work out
of GP practices (1 per practice). How would we go about setting
ourselves up? How do you sell it to a fairly uninspired HOM, happy with
current provision?? I thought we could wait for the next cmw to come
back in to hosp and take her surgery - but that's 4 mws replacing 1 and I
guess the HOM won't buy it. Ideas are gratefully received!!
Ta
Cheryl
