Projects

It has been a busy week - where do the days disappear to?

In some ways it has been frustrating too - I have a number of major projects on my desk (and in my head) that need urgent attention, yet there are just not enough hours in the day to work on them.

Top of my list is finalising the last details of the exciting “Midwifery Intensives” program that will launch with the ‘Keeping Birth Normal’ tour in April/May next year. We’ve been planning this for some months, the idea crystallising when I toured the UK with Lynne Staff in June. The feedback we received from participants in those workshops encouraged me to formulate a practical, hands-on event that would be skills based and topical. The full details will be on our web site next week (just as soon as I receive the last photo from our speakers!).

This week I’ve had to decline an invitation to work with MIDIRS on a resource package for young teenagers in South Wales. This Young Persons Project will be a multimedia effort, combining workbooks, activities and a dedicated website and will provide those working in this field with much needed resources. I was delighted to be asked to prepare the practical educational content for the classes etc, but I just don’t have the time available (given their very tight deadlines) to do it justice. I am sure they can find someone in the UK who will be able to contribute appropriate material.

I am also immersed in the final proof reading of the new edition of The Midwife Companion, which will be available early next year. One of the joys of self-publishing is that we can move very fast when it comes to production, avoiding the long delays, often well over a year, that are encountered by authors using regular book publishing companies. I like the fact I can write a foreword dated October and have the book in readers hands 3 months later!

I have started my next book as well. This one has been germinating for a while now, but the time is right to get on with it. I can see some furious writing over the next months as I get all my ideas down on paper. This will be a completely new topic - and unique in its content. I am not giving any more away.... you’ll have to wait and see!
