What is the working relationship between midwives, family doctors, pediatricians and obstetricians?
Midwives consult with family doctors, obstetricians, pediatricians or and other specialists if situations arise that fall outside the Midwife’s scope of practise. Midwives have clear indications of when to consult and when to transfer care during pregnancy, birth and post-partum as set out by the College of Midwives of BC. This information is made available to every woman who chooses a midwife as part of the fundamental principle of midwifery care: informed choice. My working relationship with Prince George’s local specialist’s is excellent.
