midwifery survey - Lamp Online

The NSWNMA is calling all midwives to participate in our Midwifery Workforce Survey. Your feedback will help play a pivotal role in the Associations efforts to advocate for improvements in maternity services.

The NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association is reaching out to all midwives in both public and private sectors to build an accurate snapshot of the current situation on the floor. The survey will take approximately 5 minutes, and the insights gained will be fundamental to improving conditions for midwives statewide.

Professor Hannah Dahlen and her research team are conducting the Birth in the Time of COVID-19 study (through Western Sydney University). As well as looking into women’s experiences of pregnancy, birth and parenting we are wanting to find out the experiences of midwives providing care to women during the pandemic in Australia. The Midwives Survey for ‘Birth in The Time of COVID-19’. (MS-BITTOC) has been built following in-depth interviews that we undertook with midwives from around Australia. We would love for you to participate in the survey by clicking the link below or using the QR code in the image.
