Hi, do any of you know whether British standard riding helmets are ok to use in Australia. We are just getting packed up and I don't know whether to bring it or leave it.....?

Hi Ned, I didn't caseload when I trained either, it wasn't part of the course that I took. Is this going to cause me problems do you think?

Hi, Are there any diploma trained midwives on this thread? I'm guessing were going to have the same issues as nurses with regards to diplomas v's degree etc. but my question is regarding the element that states you have to have caseloaded 20 women from early pregnancy to 4-6 weeks post birth. I know a lot of university's include a caseloading module now, but 5 years ago when I trained it wasn't included and how am I supposed to get that experience now when the hospital I work at doesn't have a caseloading team??? Anyone know anything??

Hi, I'm new to this forum and can't find anything which answers my question directly, so I have started a new thread. I am a midwife in the UK with 5 years experience looking to emmigrate with my partner and son. Looking at the IQNM: Professional experience requirements for a midwife, it seems to now state that you have to have caseloaded 20 women right through from early pregnancy to 4-6 weeks post birth. My job in the Uk rotates me through all areas of care but I don't caseload and never have, I'm not sure how to get around this issue. Has anyone else who has recently applied (since the standards changed) to AHPRA come up against a similar issue? Also I qualified with a diploma in midwifery studies not a degree. One of the criteria is to have the equivalent to an Australian Bachelors degree is anyone else in this position? Have AHPRA deemed it equivalent if you have a certain number of years experience? I have a bachelors degree in another subject just not in midwifery. I'd be grateful for any help or insights anyone can provide.
