Abstract
This article reports on the development and implementation processes associated with an inhouse accredited program for midwifery-led maternal final assessment which has been in existence for 12 months in a large outer metropolitan hospital in NSW. The impetus for the program was two-fold: an improved service to parents who wish to have mother and baby go home at their own convenience but also with the support of accredited staff, and, increased job satisfaction for midwives. The article details the policy development and educational processes involved in launching such a program along with the issues encountered along the way.
