What is the minimum requirement of professional activity hours midwives must complete every year for recertification?

The minimum requirement of professional activity hours that midwives must complete each year for recertification is 8 hours. This requirement is essential for ensuring that midwives stay current with best practices, engage in continuous learning, and maintain the skills necessary to provide safe and effective care to their clients.

By participating in at least 8 hours of professional activities, midwives can access ongoing education, workshops, or other professional development opportunities that enhance their knowledge and skills. This commitment to lifelong learning helps to uphold the standards of the midwifery profession in New Zealand, ultimately benefiting both the midwives and the families they serve.
