👏 @dunkleybent so true. Looking forward to having you at ACM National Conference in Adelaide next month. #midwiferyleadership
Midwifery is much more effective when midwives are educated, trained, regulated and integrated in a healthcare system with effective teamwork that takes women’s health into account.
