Abstract
All original competencies were found to be valid but required amendment in order to focus specifically on the role of the midwife and the needs of the mother, child and wider family. Revisions have resulted in a framework that is more directive and which addresses the time-critical nature of information-giving, decision-making, testing and referral that are crucial components of midwifery practice. Learning outcomes and practice indicators offer educators and trainers a means of developing student/staff knowledge and skills over time and with increasing experience.
