Dear Joan and all
I have forwarded you email to the ICM Midwifery education list as I think a
lot of people on that list will be interested in responding to your query.

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.

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
