How do midwives practice?Midwives work in group practices of two or more registered midwives and are paid by the provincial government. Currently, there must be at least two midwives attending each client's birth. At times, due to off-call arrangements (such as for vacations or a heavy practice load), a midwifery practice may have an arrangement with a local health care provider (i.e. a registered nurse) to act as a second birth attendant to assist the midwife in cases where another midwife is not available. Many midwifery practices have student midwives from the Midwifery Education
Programme or candidates from the International Midwifery Pre-registration Program
(IMPP) doing clinical placements at the practice. These placements are part of
their education and assessment.
