  ACM NSW Branch Midwife of the Year 2012 Nominations
Once again the Australian College of Midwives NSW Branch is calling for nominations for NSW Midwife of the Year. This is a very special award for midwives as it enables midwives to nominate midwives whom they felt have contributed to and enhanced the progression of midwifery. It is a wonderful opportunity to put forward a midwife who may not be as prominent as others but is helping midwifery in a special way. This may be at a local level or further afield. Our sponsors Huggies are again assuring a fabulous prize. 

Please see our nomination guidelines

HUNTER VALLEY MIDWIVES FUNCTION
The  Hunter Valley Midwives Association has organised a movie screening of "Guerrilla Midwife" with a cheese and wine night and would love you, your friends and family to come.
This is a globally acclaimed, award-winning documentary that takes you along the fragrant streets of Bali and desolate Acehnese refugee camps of the Indonesian Archipelago, where, Midwife-Ibu Robin Lim finds herself at a time and place where midwifery is put to the test. This culturally mesmerizing, and sometimes heart-wrenching documentary vividly demonstrates why we must change our protocols for pregnancy and childbirth, and return to a gentle, natural method.
This is a fund raiser and is sure to be a great evening.
Please e mail me if you have any questions or have a look on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/#!/events/132091376909716/
