Seeking your feedback: A consultation paper proposing changes to the Guidelines for Consultation with Obstetric and Related Medical Services (the Referral Guidelines)
Kia ora koutou katoa
Firstly, I hope that this email finds you and your whānau safe and well.
Allen + Clarke has been contracted by the Ministry of Health to update the Guidelines for Consultation with Obstetric and Medical Services (the Referral Guidelines).
Please see attached for a consultation paper on the proposed updates to the Referral Guidelines.
Thank you to those of you who have previously provided comment and feedback on a survey on the Referral Guidelines undertaken by Allen + Clarke in April 2021. Your feedback was considered by the Maternity Guidelines Review Steering Group, and used to propose amendments to the Guidelines. Most of these amendments relate to the table of conditions and referral category. Some changes suggested by survey respondents were not recommended by the Maternity Guidelines Review Steering Group at this time. We have included a very brief summary in the consultation document to explain the reasons for this.
We look forward to hearing your views. Please send your comments to agribble@allenandclarke.co.nz on or before 29 October 2021.
Of course, we would welcome your assistance in circulating this consultation paper to your colleagues and others in your networks, and please do get in touch if you have any questions.

Draft Referral Guidelines Consultation
Consultation | Statement on - What to do when you have concerns about another doctor
Tēnā koutou
We are reviewing our statement on What to do when you have concerns about another doctor and would value your feedback.
This statement discusses concerns that could arise about another doctor for example, health, conduct and competence. It also discusses appropriate options for raising these concerns including when we as a regulator should be notified.
Our draft statement has more emphasis on patient safety and maintaining the public’s trust and confidence in the medical profession as grounds to act on concerns about another doctor.
You can access further information about the consultation and other related information at these links:

We look forward to receiving your comments.
