Settling into the UK scene

I’ve arrived in London - the flight seemed longer this time but it was the usual 22 hours. Have had a quick catch up with Caroline Flint (her practice is thriving ) and a few words with Giles (those of you who were at the Future Birth seminars and heard Caroline talk about Giles will “remember” him, no doubt!).

Lynne Staff arrives tomorrow and we are also meeting up with Tracy Reibel (who was also on the Future Birth tour) in the next few days. Tracy is in the UK as part of her Churchill Fellowship, looking at the way Birth Centres are run in other countries. Sometimes it seems easier to see one’s friends when we are all overseas at the same time.....

The first workshop is tomorrow (Active Birth) and we will have five Israeli midwives in the group. They were unable to come when I was last here in March because the war in Iraq had started and all flights out of Israel were cancelled. I will be interested to hear how midwifery is progressing in Israel, and whether the previous group of midwife teachers who came to a workshop last year have been able to pass on any of the messages from that program.

Learning what happens in other parts of the world is always fascinating. We tend to think that we (Australians, for example) are the only ones where midwives face barriers and difficulties practising, yet everywhere I go I hear the same stories, with variations and regional differences. Later this month I will be in Spain - now that will be interesting!

Interested to hear were you are tomorrow?

Also how long you are in the UK?

Interested to see what you think of the Doula movement out here after your previous controversial comments on this topic www.doula.org.uk

Many Thanks
