Free professional development for midwives

I've just found out that the Otago Polytechnic School of Midwifery has made several professional development modules freely available to midwives.

The topics are:

• second stage of labour
• anaemia
• assessing labour progress
• mastitis
• counselling women with unintended pregnancies
• bedsharing with babies

The modules are short and consist of an article to read and a 10 question multiple choice quiz. If you get more than 80% of questions right, you get a certificate. Each quiz is worth one professional development point for New Zealand midwives to put towards their recertification requirements.

To access the modules, go to this website and follow the instructions.

Do you know of any other free online professional opportunities for midwives?
