It's time to highlight the serious issue of unconsented fetal monitoring during childbirth, and the widespread misinformation about its safety and efficacy. It's time to fix the underlying causes - starting with how guidelines are applied in practice. Elizabeth and Gloria, the feminist chickens, are always right... I'm adding the final recordings to the How to get the best from the RANZCOG Intrapartum Fetal Surveillance Guideline workshop, so the Introductory price is about to go away forever. There's good news for midwives hiding in the most recent #RANZCOG #FetalMonitoring #Guideline update. Support for Pinards and fetal scalp stimulation expands the tools available to midwives for fetal monitoring. It never seemed like the right thing to have an obstetric organisation tell midwives how to use intermittent auscultation, so it is pleasing to see them recognise this. I once again take a moment on Australia Day to reaffirm my own commitment to Pay The Rent. I make regular contributions to several Aboriginal owned and run organisations, mostly focussed on healthcare. I encourage you to do the same. Enrolments are underway for my new workshop - How to get the best from the RANZCOG Intrapartum Fetal Surveillance Guideline. Here are answers to the questions I have been getting the most. There's plenty of research - including recent Australian studies - showing women are not always given accurate information or a choice about their fetal monitoring options. One of the key forces that has driven this has been the RANZCOG fetal monitoring guideline. We are on the cusp of a major shift - but it will only happen if midwives take advantage of a brand new opportunity... Some lovely folks at Western Sydney University are (like me) keen to better understand what is happening in Australian maternity services when it comes to disrespectful care. I've done the survey - they particularly need doctors to contribute. Please help out! Boring hospital education sessions don't always tell you the full story. Find out what's changed in the guideline and how to use the changes to transform your fetal monitoring practice in a positive way. Every clinical midwife in Australia and New Zealand works with the RANZCOG Intrapartum Fetal Surveillance Guideline. It was updated late last year - so it's important that you know what has changed, and what hasn't.
