Our Malaysia students, part two

Our Malaysian students had a wonderful time on the weekend. Their visit to the Royal Hospital for Women in Randwick, Sydney, was a great success. As luck would have it, they were able to sit in on two prenatal classes facilitated by Julie Clarke, a very experienced educator who is about to join our Graduate Diploma faculty as a Supervisor. Julie has a special gift for involving fathers in her program and our two students were fascinated to see how this can be done so very effectively with two different groups of parents. Julie has developed a particular activity called “Fatherhood” that enables open and honest discussion about a range of issues selected by the men. (I’ve suggested that we market this through Birth International so watch this space!).

In between the two prenatal sessions our students were able to explore the hospital and they visited the Birth Centre, Labour Ward and the Intensive Care Unit. They really appreciated the chance to observe an approach that is entirely different from the one they are familiar with in Malaysia.

Cross cultural visits are very valuable to everyone involved and we are enjoying having these students in our midst - they constantly provide a challenge to our ways of doing things and help raise our awareness of differences we must take into account with our own class groups.

Tomorrow we tackle ways of presenting labour and birth to expectant parents. I anticipate lively discussion on several topics, particularly around medications during labour and the whole issue of pain in labour. It will be two days before I can report on the outcomes for this group, as I have other commitments tomorrow and won’t be able to prepare a Diary entry, but by the time I am able to do my next Diary entry, the workshop will be over and I will be able to reflect on the whole intensive six days.
