Maggie Banks and New Zealand midwifery

There can be few doubts that midwifery as practised in New Zealand, offers the best options in the world for the care for pregnant women and midwifery practitioners. They seem to have grasped the whole philosophy of normal birth with a broad stroke of the brush and backed it up with the necessary structural services and underpinning legislation. Working as a midwife in New Zealand would b a goal of many of the midwives I meet in my travels!

A few years ago, we invited Maggie Banks to participate in one of our Future Birth tours. She was a sensational speaker, gently encouraging us to trust and believe whilst showing how breech births could be managed safely using midwifery principles. Her book Breech Birth, Woman Wise is easily the best practical manual on vaginal breech birth around, and a copy should be in every midwife's possession in readiness for the day when an undiagnosed breech birth presents itself.

We have again invited Maggie to participate in one of our programs - this time a series of workshops that will be scheduled around Australia. More about this exciting program later - it promises to be a very practical, hands on event, led by experienced midwives who want to share their know-how for the betterment of midwifery and birth for women. There will be details on our web site in the next few weeks.

Meanwhile, you may like to check out some of Maggie Banks’ work - her website has some interesting articles and her new “Intensives” will be of interest to many. They will provide a good alternative to the ALSO Courses that are very medicalised in their approach and philosophy. Maybe going to one of these courses with Maggie will provide the excuse you need to visit Kiwiland!
