The current group are not actually the final group from the old programme. Our 2010 year three will be the last of this group. The old programme is a three year degree however many of the students in this programme work over and above the required practice hours which would significantly expand their programme. I think you might be confusing our programme with another as ours is not a BA Midwifery but a B Mid. That is they do not gain a Bachelor of Arts but a Bachelor of Midwifery. It is an applied degree programme. There has been some cotroversy around the concept of a three year degree in four years which I am going to discuss in a later post Here is a link to a document from the Midwifery Council of New Zealand which explains this somewhat http://www.midwiferycouncil.org.nz/content/library/extract_from_newsletter_re_Massey_etc_Pre.pdf Hi Jill, not too sure who “we” are, but thanks for popping by and for your interest and question.

We thought that the current and final group going through under the old BA Midwifery was also equivalent to a 4 year degree fitted to 3 years?? Cheers. Can you clarify please.

What is involved in this examination would depend on what the issues are that midwifery council may have with your competency. So if there is something that has arisen in your practice that you think they may wish to assess then this is the focus that the examination will take I would assume. I think you really need to contact council and ask them what is involved as I have no real way of knowing. Midwifery Council would usually have conducted an audit or had some other communication with you before taking this step so I think you should have some idea what this is about. I am sorry I can't really help more than this Sue. I hope you manage to get things sorted. I know this is very stressful but you have a good midwifery knowledge base and midwifery council are only interested that midwives should be able to meet basic midwifery competency.
