Contraception Management Tips for Midwives
Evidence Based Standards for Midwifery Scope of Practice
More and more people are turning to midwives when it comes to their general care, and who could blame them? We give our clients a safe space where their questions and concerns will be heard. The full scope of our practice is to teach people how to take control of their own health, whether they’re planning their childbirth or being proactive about prevention. This is why we challenge our midwives to be able to handle any form of visit. From providing care for the first month of a newborn’s life to assisting people through the confusing years of menopause, we need to be knowledgeable on every aspect of general women’s care.
We developed the course, Contraception Management Tips for Midwives, to give you all the information you need to know to help your client prevent pregnancy. This class goes through trending methods as well as well-researched data. Our goal here is to give you evidence-based information so you can be the best midwife for your clients. We’ll discuss both hormonal and non-hormonal options before going into more holistic methods such as lactation amenorrhea and natural family planning. We’ll also talk all about sterilization options. The course is taught by Leslie Cornwell, an experienced certified nurse midwife who has been in the healthcare industry for over 16 years. Our mission is to teach you how to empower your clients to take their reproductive health into their own hands.
