Welcome to Midwife Publications! Please note that Nell Tharpe is going  on sabbatical from July 1, 2013 through  December 2014.  There may be limited  educational program opportunities that  arise during her sabbatical, in which case  they will be posted here.    Thank you.           At this site midwives and midwifery come first. My goal is to create products and services that foster midwifery and make your day-to-day practice easier and less stressful. If only we could package sleep somehow! In today's technological world, women rely on midwives to keep the spiritual side of birth alive. Let us know how we can best support you during this inspiring task. Blessings on the Work! Nell
The new edition of the Clinical Practice Guidelines for Midwifery & Women's Health, 4th Ed. (2013) from Jones & Bartlett Publishers is now available! The 4th edition has been thoroughly updated and includes expanded sections on documentation and risk management. This wonderful reference guide to clinical midwifery and women's health practice is invaluable for midwives in every practice setting.
Are you at Risk? The development of a Midwifery Risk Management Policy is a helpful way to assess how your practice fits into your community health care system. Assessing professional risk provides each midwife with necessary information to guide her practice decisions. While the guidelines presented here are based on ACNM documents, they are applicable to midwives from all backgrounds and practice locations. Download Midwifery Risk Management Recommendations
