Midwives, in addition to completing the core PPR activities, must also complete midwifery case review which includes:
- A review of midwifery case(s) and how care was managed;
- A discussion with midwives and/or other health professionals including lessons learned, feedback on care provision/management, and areas for improvement; and
- A review of applicable standards of practice and guidelines.
Case reviews provide a confidential, educational opportunity to identify strengths and areas for practice improvement specific to the provision of midwifery care and midwifery practice. It facilitates learning about different aspects of practice by bringing midwives together from across practice settings. A midwifery case review includes:
- A presentation of the case history and how the case was managed;
- A discussion of applicable BCCNM regulations and ethical and practice standards as well as relevant clinical practice guidelines and policies;
- Client feedback on care provision if available;
- Observations and feedback provided by case review participants; and
- Changes made or recommendation for potential changes in practice if applicable.
