Responsibilities

• Establish, in collaboration with our clinical teams, a standardized training plan for Jacaranda Maternity midwifery teams, inclusive of all full time and locum midwives.
• Establish, in collaboration with our clinical teams, special training and programs that focus on areas of skill-building and practice for staff that need additional support.
• Determine the appropriate modes of training delivery for the training plan–these should include in-person, virtual-live conference, recorded videos, in-person direct observation, quizzes and assessments, and randomized auditing.
• Create role-plays, lectures, handouts, and other materials for all training, in accordance with the agreed upon modes of training delivery.
• Maintain a database of skill set scoring of all midwife-nurses who work at Jacaranda Maternity, and report on this monthly to clinical managers and non-clinical managers.
• Assemble both a Weekly Quality of Practice report and a Monthly Quality of Practice report.
• Participate and at times lead in RCAs.
• Organize Quality of Practice meetings at no less than a 5–6-week interval with relevant clinical and management stakeholders.
• Highlight any dangerous practices to clinical and non-clinical leaders and quickly move to prevent any dangerous or negligent practices.
• Participating in clinical practice in very urgent or emergency situations that cannot be addressed by others (due to lack of skill or a momentary staffing challenge).
