Hi, I'm Audra Davis, I'm the project lead for the Midwifery Community Access Programme. The purpose of the project was to improve antenatal access and early engagement for all pregnant women in the community, especially Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and women in vulnerable situations through community based clinics and enhance linkages with primary health networks. The project aligned with the innovative fund criteria, inclusive of the quadruple aim as it was midwife led, filled an unmet need in the community by enhancing the current midwifery clinics, which are currently run at the hospital. These services will enhance the satisfaction for women and their families and improve access, and for the midwives, allow them to provide a continuity of care experience. For the community clinics, this will be antenatal only. For the non-government organisations and community controlled sites, this provides an opportunity for increased flow through their services. For the health services, it provides an opportunity to improve health costs as there is likely to be increased numbers of available appointments due to improved attendance rates. For the health services, it provides an opportunity to improve health costs as there is likely to be increased numbers of available appointments due to improved attendance rates. This in turn improves the cost for the health system and the health of the women and their babies and families. The total cost was $197,706. Labour costs were 156,551, and non-labor costs $8,737. Yes, there were delays with recruitment of the project officer and the setup of the cost centre. The COVID pandemic, which restricted the number of community places to explore and restricted community consultation on Palm Island, and the costs of some community spaces inhibited the setting up of midwifery clinic in some places of need. The NGOs were more than welcoming to allow consumer consultation at their establishment. The NGOs were keen to collaborate with the health service to offer a midwifery service even when the space they were offering was not even near suitable. Some NGOs encouraged a site visit even though their spaces were not suitable, although this allowed the opportunity for discussion around what a clinical space looks like, and how the NGOs could incorporate the service into their space if they expanded in the future. To the engagement of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community control centres, Yamani Meta programmes manager, from early in the project, the manager could see how the model fitted in with their vision of the first 1000 days. And this blossomed into a partnership between Yamani Meta and the Townsville University Hospital. The model will provide a continuity of care with integrated health and other support services that are culturally safe and in a culturally safe space, and the willingness of a consumer to participate in the collaborative process. Partnerships can develop between Queensland Health and non-government organisations. Community organisations are more than happy to work with Queensland Health to incorporate midwives clinics in their organisations. These partnerships not only provide improved access to midwifery care, but have also increased women and their families accessing the programmes offered by the local community organisations and thus improving health and social outcomes for women and their families. The partnership allows women to have antenatal care close to home and be connected to resources provided by the community centre which they will continue to utilise beyond their pregnancy. We hope you found this presentation from the nursing and midwifery showcase series informative.
