This subject enables midwives to critically evaluate the benefits, obstacles and developmental strategies associated with innovative maternity service provision in Australia and internationally, in both public and private health systems. A particular focus of inquiry is the multiple ways midwives work in partnership with women. This includes accessing and critiquing contemporary research findings that inform practice development, ethical decision making, inter-professional collaboration and the implementation of cost-effective changes in maternity service provision. Students identify the personal and professional support and the practice development necessary to engender confidence in all those working to provide new models of maternity care. A framework that addresses the philosophical foundation of midwifery and the construction of midwifery knowledge underpins this subject.
