Perineal trauma is the most frequently reported complication of labour and delivery in the Qld Perinatal Data Collection. It is documented that some individual accoucheurs seem to be particularly skilful in assisting at birth in a way that minimises perineal trauma. Recent trends within the Qld health industry have emphasised the importance of quality improvement activities focussing on health outcomes. Midwives accoucheur most of the “normal” deliveries in public hospitals, thus it is important that midwives play a leading part in the development and improvement of tools which identify quality outcomes and pinpoint areas for improvement. This study aims to benchmark current practices regarding perineal outcomes. Moreover, the authors aim to initiate discussion towards the development of the first clinical indicators appropriate to midwifery care.

This paper identifies some of the issues within the debate regarding the introduction of “direct entry’ midwifery education in Australia. It addresses questions that have been raised around terminology; the current midwifery education system; whether midwives also need to be nurses; how nurses who want to become midwives might enter the same programme with recognition of prior learning; and whether ‘direct entry’ midwifery education should become a mainstream option. A case is made for a collaborative initiative to consider all aspects of developing a national framework for Bachelor of Midwifery programmes.
