Shifting perspectives - A qualitative study about midwives' experiences of postgraduate education in Canada.

Background: Globally, midwifery education is a priority. In Canada, there is only one postgraduate midwifery education program. Most midwives who pursue postgraduate education in Canada enroll in non-midwifery educational programs.

Suitable but requiring support: How the midwifery model of care offers opportunities to counsel the vaccine hesitant pregnant population.

Uptake of vaccination during pregnancy in Canada is lower than comparator countries. A recommendation from a trusted perinatal healthcare provider is a key opportunity to promote vaccine uptake and improve confidence. This study aims to identify barriers and opportunities to vaccination in midwifery care.

"Ultimately, the choice is theirs": Informed choice vaccine conversations and Canadian midwives.

Background: In Canada, vaccination that protects against pertussis and influenza is recommended in every pregnancy, but uptake remains low. Communicating the risks and benefits of vaccination is key to clinical conversations about vaccination, which may influence the uptake of pregnancy and subsequent infant vaccines. Canadian midwives use an informed choice model of care, which is distinct from informed consent and prioritizes client autonomy in decision-making.
