While we are on the subject of caring for migrant women, today the BBC World Service are broadcasting a programme I (and many other great midwives) was involved in about midwifery care for migrant women in London: ‘Global Midwives’ (part of the 100 Women series) http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0388n3s.

Subject: Sv: antenatal care for refugee women
Hello Claudia
Correa-Valez and Ryan has 2012 written an article called Developing a best practice model for refugee maternity care.
In my Wikberg 2014 dissertation (in Swedish) there is also a model for intercultural caring in midwifery. It is not specific to refugees but for all midwifery where the midwife (nurse) and the patient (mother) has different cultural background. There is a summary in English and I have also published 4 articles on the same subject.
the Enlish summary is on page 132-
there is first a general intercultural caring model and then anotheron for midwifery.
Med vänlig hälsning/Kind regards

Dear all,
a group of Austrian midwives is creating a document for antenatal care specifically for refugee women; it should contain the minimum requirements of antenatal care, including history taking. Does anyone of you know if such a documentation sheet tailored to refugee women already exists?
Thanks for any information or maybe forwarded sheets
Claudia
