B.C. College of Nurses and Midwives says eight individuals are currently under active investigation
The B.C. College of Nurses and Midwives says the unauthorized practice of midwifery has become a significant public safety risk, with 13 reports in just a year and a half.
The college posted a public notice this week warning expectant parents of the risks posed by unauthorized midwifery practitioners and asking those aware of such activity to report it. In B.C., only those registered with the college can call themselves midwives or registered midwives. To become a midwife, they must complete a four-year university program that covers a wide range of clinical skills and pass a national exam.
Dawn is listed on the INNATE Postpartum Care Practitioners Directory as a “traditional birth attendant and a guide for women to reclaim and cultivate their personal power.” The B.C. College of Nurses and Midwives urges the public to verify the registration status of any individual who promotes themselves as a midwife via its online midwife verification tool or by directing an inquiry to the college’s registration department.
