Another private maternity service to close its doors | Health Services Daily

It’s another nail in the coffin for private services with one study suggesting they will cease to exist entirely by the end of the decade.

Need clear, safe pathways to deal with complications before allowing nurses and midwives to prescribe medical abortion pill. Access must be increased but not at expense of safety. #nasog #womenshealth abc.net.au/radio/programs/am…

Partners of doctors working regionally need to be considered. Although important, its about more than just money. Culture and treatment of staff is key. #regionalmaternityroundtable

So much to unpack here But it is the local community that is losing its maternity unit We must work collaboratively across GP, midwifery, Rural generalist, specialist O&G, paediatrics & anaesthetics to address this abc.net.au/news/2022-03-16/p…
