Regulating The Profession of Midwifery
The degree to which midwifery as a profession is organized and regulated within the formal health care system varies widely throughout the world. (8) In Canada, the regulation of professions falls under provincial [territorial] authority for the most part. Section 92 of the Canadian Constitution Act, 1867, assigns to the provinces the authority to
The Shift to Regulated Midwifery in Canada
Globally, midwives have enjoyed a long history of providing maternity care and are well recognized as key to the provision of care to pregnant families. Despite this history, Canada was slow to recognize the practice of midwifery as a legitimate health profession. In fact, until the early nineties, Canada had the unwelcome distinction of being the
The Legislative Process
In Canada, the administration and delivery of health care services is the responsibility of each province or territory, guided by the provisions of the Canada Health Act. Provinces and territories are primarily responsible for regulating health care professions such as the practice of midwifery. (17) Midwifery legislation can be divided into two pa
Key Features of Midwifery Legislation in Canada

Fundamental Features of Midwifery Self-Regulating Authorities
8.7.1 Codes of Ethics Each regulatory authority must develop a code of ethics, which are intended to outline the values and principles that its members use as reference points to guide their practice. Broadly speaking, a code of ethics provides a moral context for midwifery practice by describing the values and principles that guide the ethical orientation and behavior of midwives in all aspects of their practice. A code of ethics can provide a foundation for decision-making in difficult situations. 8.7.2 Standards of Practice, Policies and Guidelines Professional standards of practice describe behaviors and practice expectations that midwives must demonstrate in all aspects of their work including clinical practice, education, administration and research. The standards determine how midwifery practice is assessed and the expectation of practice. Standards of practice provide an important guide for midwives in their practice, thereby supporting consistency in practice and ensure accountability of midwives to their regulatory body and to th
Regulatory Authority vs. Professional Association
The profession of midwifery in Canada is supported by two distinct bodies, each with its own purpose – the regulatory body and the professional association. As the previous section described, the role of the regulatory body is to regulate the practice of midwifery in the interest of protect public safety. In contrast, the role of the professional a
Professionalism in Midwifery
As members of a self-regulating profession, midwives are expected to maintain professional accountability to themselves, to clients in their care, to colleagues, and to their profession. These expectations of midwives are often defined in the Standards of Practice, the Code of Ethics and the Code of Conduct of their regulatory body, and in the case
0 Professional Boundaries in Midwifery Practice
The close therapeutic relationship that can develop between midwives and their clients can be a strength of the model of midwifery care. The relationship is one based on mutual trust.
