End-of-year wrap up

This will be my last Diary entry for the year - I am taking a three week break to rest and recuperate before launching into a very busy 200 on January 14.

It has been a very productive and busy year, with a number of stand out highlights for me:

The Future Birth Tour in April with Mavis Kirkham and Caroline Flint, Tracey Reibel and Vanessa Owen.

Thirty Active Birth workshops in the UK, including two in Spain, several in Ireland, Scotland and Wales

The Essential Midwifery tour of the UK with Lynne Staff in June

Seventeen Active Birth workshops in Australia

Keynote speeches at Conferences in Wales, Italy and the NACE Conference in Sydney

Presentation of the Effective Education program as an elective for the Monash University Graduate Diploma in Midwifery students

Relocating our office in Sydney

Re-accreditation as a Registered Training Organisation

Re-accreditation of the Graduate Diploma in Childbirth Education (although I had a lot of help with these last two!)

Preparation of a new edition of The Midwife Companion (due out in February 2004)

Publication of Preparing for Birth in Thai

No wonder I feel in need of a holiday! Next year promises to be even more hectic, with some major new initiatives in the pipeline and a pile of projects waiting to get started.

Thanks for reading my Diary entries during the past year. I look forward to sharing more thoughts with you over the coming months. I will be back at my desk on January 12.

Have a wonderful Holiday Season and I hope that all of you have a peaceful, healthy, happy and fun 2004!
