PRACTICE STATEMENT
Midwives In Private Practice (MIPP) is a collective of qualified midwives, providing support, education, and promotion of best practice midwifery in any setting. Each member is responsible for her/his own practice of midwifery, maintenance of professional standards, and appropriate record keeping.
MIPP is a member group of Maternity Coalition Incorporated.
Principles:
The midwife joining or renewing membership agrees to:
- Practice in a way that is consistent with the International Confederation of Midwives' Definition of the midwife
- Attend MIPP meetings. If this is not possible at any time, the midwife sends an apology, and contributes to current discussion by other means.
- Contribute to the activities and work of MIPP.
- Participate in professional standards peer review within the collective.
- Contribute to periodic reviews, providing quantitative and/or qualitative data as appropriate.
