We are asking all students, new midwives, preceptors, and faculty members to please share their feedback on student engagement in our targeted surveys.
Closed consultation
The Ministry of Health has launched a public consultation on long-awaited changes to the Designated Drug Regulation under the Midwifery Act, 1991. The consultation is open until November 13, 2023.
We are proposing to add a new registration requirement as follows: Applicants must provide satisfactory evidence of competency in fetal surveillance.
This new requirement would be included in the Registration Regulation and would only take effect when individuals initially apply to the College at the time of entry into practise.
This consultation closed on Monday, April 3, 2023. About this consultation The College has proposed significant changes to the Registration…
The changes to the Record Keeping Standard for Midwives are intended to update its content and provide enough information for midwives to understand what their responsibilities are to document in, and maintain, the client record.
This standard was revised so it is achievable by all midwives by requiring midwives work with second birth attendants who are competent in NRP rather than certified in NRP.
The changes made to the Clinical Education and Student Supervision standard were designed to tie all standards to the public interest and to the delivery of client care. The changes also incorporated the feedback received during the first consultation about professional behaviours and providing a safe learning environment for students.
We are requesting feedback from midwives, the public and stakeholders about our proposal to revise the standard Blood Borne Pathogens.
While the College has a Clinical Education and Student Supervision standard in place, it was last revised in 2017 and various aspects are outdated or contain unnecessary information. The College now has an opportunity to revise the standard to ensure it reflects current and relevant content.
We are seeking feedback about Phase 2 of our standards review that includes several recommendations, including the proposed rescinding of the Consultation and Transfer of Care Standard (CTCS) and the implementation of a guide on the midwifery scope of practice.
