Track 1: Midwifery

A professional in midwifery is known as a midwife. Midwifery, also known as obstetrics, is the  health science and the health profession that deals with pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period (including care of the new-born), besides sexual and reproductive health of women throughout their lives. Midwifery-led continuity of care is where one or more midwives have the primary responsibility for the continuity of care for childbearing women, with a multidisciplinary network of consultation and referral with other health care providers. The actual duties of the midwife in antiquity consisted mainly of assisting in the birthing process, although they may also have helped with other medical problems relating to women when needed.

Track 2: Midwifery Care

Midwifery care is holistic and continuous in nature, grounded in an understanding of the social, emotional, cultural, spiritual, psychological and physical experiences of women. Pregnancy and childbearing are usually normal physiological processes. For centuries, midwives have provided care to women during childbirth and not only caring just during the birthing process, but also throughout their reproductive lives. Prenatal care involves a series of regular exams and evaluations with the midwife. Prenatal care helps in detecting and preventing various kinds of diseases that can be attacked to mother and then spread to baby. Postnatal care should be a continuation of the care the woman received during her pregnancy, labour and birth. Post natal care should involve planning and regularly reviewing the content and timing of care, for individual women and their babies. Nurse midwives are able to provide medical care to women from puberty through menopause, including care for their newborn (neonatology), antepartum, intrapartum, postpartum and nonsurgical gynecological care. Midwifery care also includes health promotion, disease prevention, and individualized wellness education and counseling.

Track 3: Midwifery areas of practice

Midwifery practice has undergone remarkable changes over the last 75 years. In the early part of the 20th century, the only place midwives could attend births was at home. Later, the hospital became virtually the only place in which midwives could attend births, and there was a great debate among the midwifery community in the 1970s about the safety of homebirth. Nurse midwives function as primary healthcare providers for women and most often provide medical care for relatively healthy women, whose health and births are considered uncomplicated and not "high risk," as well as their neonates. Nurse midwives practice in hospitals and private practice medical clinics and may also deliver babies in birthing centres and attend at-home births. Some work with academic institutions as professors. Although the changes in midwifery practice around birth may seem dramatic, the changes in the scope of practice have been even more so.

Track 5: Midwifery Online Nursing

The online nursing sets and reviews standards for the education, training, conduct and performance. The Nursing and midwifery council maintains a register of all nurses, midwives and specialist community public health nurses eligible to practise. The NMC (National Midwifery Council) also investigates allegations of impaired fitness to practise. Many schools offer an accelerated Bachelor's degree in nursing program. School nurses try to facilitate positive student responses to normal human development; promote health and safety in the school environment; intervene with actual and potential health problems; providing case management services; and actively collaborate with others to build student and family capacity for adaptation, self-care, self-advocacy, and learning. Nursing students enter undergraduate nursing school with the goal of becoming an Advanced Practice Nurse (APRN), while others develop the desire to attend graduate school after years of Registered Nursing. Labour and Delivery Nursing is a popular specialty among nurses, with some of these nurses seeking graduate education for Nurse Midwifery. It is an advanced practice registered nurse who has specialized education and training in midwifery.

Nursing and Midwifery has a long and distinguished history within the World Health Organization, reflected through the decisions of governing bodies and the adoption of World Health Assembly (WHA) resolutions which have culminated in 10 WHA resolutions since 1948. The first meeting focused on the documentation of the rich history of nursing and midwifery in WHO to inform the future of nursing and midwifery in the context of the global GSHRH 2030 and within the multidisciplinary interdependent health care delivery system. The second meeting focused on discussing the draft strategic direction on nursing and midwifery development 2016-2030 a critical companion to the GSHRH 2030.  In the given period, registered nurse employment in physicians' offices is expected to grow by 48 percent. By 2017, increase membership retention from 78% to 80% through a combination of national and affiliate-driven retention efforts. Continue to foster these efforts for incremental growth to 85% retention by the end of 2020.

Track 10: Midwifery in Pediatrics

Paediatrics plays a major role in midwifery. It prepares the advanced practice nurses to provide primary health management to women and their infants, children, and adolescents. Relying on framework of midwifery and adolescent development, it provides direct care for women and children as well as promote healthy habits that reduce the risk of illness and disease. Primary caregiver for pregnancy, the role of the midwife will take the place of an obstetrician. Paediatric nurses often assist doctors by providing medical care and information about diseases and treatment plans to their young patients. They can be found working in hospitals, clinics, and private practices. Midwives practice in hospitals and private practice medical clinics and may also deliver babies in birthing centres and attend at-home births. Some work with academic institutions as professors. They are able to prescribe medications, treatments, medical devices, therapeutic and diagnostic measures. Nurse midwives are able to provide medical care to women from puberty through menopause, including care for their newborn (neonatology), antepartum, intrapartum, postpartum and nonsurgical gynaecological care.

The pivotal role played by nurses and midwives in re-vitalizing primary health care and people centred care is well recognized. Primary care is especially ripe for leveraging the skills nurses bring to the table. If, as expected, 47 million people enter the system in 2013, most experts believe there will be nowhere near enough primary care physicians to serve them; there is already a shortage. WHO’s two SDNMs (2002–2008 and 2011–2015) provide policy-makers, practitioners and other stakeholders at every level of the health-care system with a flexible framework for broad-based, collaborative action to enhance the capacity of nurses and midwives to contribute to universal health coverage. Children are often prone to illness and diseases and catch infections easily. Hence the pediatric market in terms of healthcare is a flourishing one, no matter what. Changes in lifestyle and unhealthy habits prevailing in the family largely contribute to the growth of this market. From 2015-2020, APAC region is poised to exhibit highest growth rate during the forecast period due to the flooding investments in paediatrics by major healthcare players in this region, especially from China and India. The global paediatric market is valued to be $XX billion in 2014 and is poised to grow at a steady CAGR of X% to reach $XX billion by the end of forecast period.

Track 11: Midwives in Maternity care

The birth of a child marks one of the great events of life in any culture, but in most societies it carries with it a high probability of death or serious illness for both mother and child. Several types of midwives and several types of physicians provide prenatal care, attend births, and care for women after birth in the United States. This page provides information about these options. Two contrasting perspectives are often called the "midwifery Model of Care" and the "Medical Model of Care." There are striking differences in the two models. These differences can have a great impact on your experience and outcomes. They are midwifery model of care and medical model of care. Midwives are well-suited to care for healthy women who expect to have a normal birth. They provide prenatal care, care during labor and birth, and care after the birth. Many give priority to providing good information to women, involving women in decision-making, and providing flexible and responsive care. Some midwives provide continuous support throughout labor and birth, which has many benefits for women, infants, and families and no known risks. Midwives attend births in many hospitals throughout the United States, and they attend most of the births that take place in out-of-hospital birth centres and homes. They provide prenatal care and care after birth in many settings. Certified Midwives (CMs) are new professionals in the health care field.
