Emergency Skills Workshops
The focus of the Emergency Skills Workshops is on “the execution of emergency measures in the absence of medical help.” Although according to the Midwifery Act the scope of practice is “spontaneous normal vaginal deliveries,” midwives need to have the skills to deal with emergencies prior to the arrival or accessing of specialized medical care.
Many of the emergencies that midwives are called upon to deal with are rare. Practice in simulated situations is essential for maintaining competence. There is strong support in the midwifery community for the CMO’s requirement for yearly certification in neonatal resuscitation and certification in emergency skills every two years.
ESWs are open to Registered Midwives from Ontario, Ontario midwifery students and to midwives from other jurisdictions with regulated midwifery.

ESW Registration and Website Security Policies
Confirmation
Space is limited so register early. We are unable to confirm your registration until full payment has been received. Online registration is recommended to reserve your place. Registrations sent by fax outside of office hours are deemed received the following weekday morning. Registrations sent by mail are deemed received when they arrive at the office, not the date mailed.
Waiting List
If a course is full, please contact the Events and Program Coordinator to be placed on a waiting list. Call 416-425-9974 x 2244 or toll-free: 1-866-418-3773 x2244.
Refunds/Transfers
All refunds or transfers will be subject to a $50 administrative fee. Registration fees are refundable only if a cancelation request is made 30 days or more prior to the workshop date. Refund requests made less than 30 days prior to the workshop date and for “no shows” will only be considered under exceptional circumstances (not births).
Off Call
Midwives registering for the ESW are expected to be off call for the entire workshop.
Babies/Toddlers
Due to the nature of the ESW workshop, children are not permitted; however, those who are breastfeeding are welcome providing that the breastfeeding mother also brings a support person to care for her child for the duration of the workshop.
Cancellation
Please note that the Association of Ontario Midwives reserves the right to cancel an ESW due to insufficient registrations, three weeks prior to the course, in which case registrants will receive a full refund of registration fees paid.
