WELCOME
On behalf of the Organising Committee
we are pleased to invite you to join with us for the
3rd Biennial Breathing New Life into maternity Care
multidisciplinary conference.
Breathing New Life 2010 will be held in the
renowned Alice Springs in the centre of Australia, from the
1st to 3rd July, 2010. Alice Springs is a special place with
a long history. It is the starting point for many adventures
to the wonders of Central Australia such as Uluri, Kata Tjuta,
the McDonnell ranges and the legendary Kings Canyon.
In 2010 our theme is 'working together,
learning from each other'; the potential benefits of
which are self-evident. This conference is about creating
new insights, better understanding and respect for our
unique and complimentary knowledge, practices and abilities,
whilst improving the way we care for women and families
in all settings. While international experience is showing
great promise with new approaches to interprofessional
education, learning and practice, Australian maternity
care developments continue in relative isolation from
other disciplines. Now, more that ever before, we are
challenged to improve the sustems and structures that
build better relationships between doctors and midwives.
Our shared vision for this conference
is that interprofessional learning opportunities will
result in a new shared culture of care in the future
where the woman is at the centre and mutual understanding,
trust and effective collaboration become the cornerstones
of best care.
We look forward to welcoming you and your
contributions to this innovative and exciting conference.
See you in Alice Springs.
