Paragraph 10 Inspection of premises and equipment

A practising midwife shall give to a supervisor of midwives, a local supervising authority and the Council, every reasonable facility to monitor her standards and methods of practice and to inspect her records, her equipment and any premises that she is entitled to permit them to enter, which may include such part of the midwife’s residence as may be used for professional purposes.

A practising midwife shall use her best endeavours to permit inspection from time to time of all places of work in which she practises, other than the private residence of a woman and baby she is attending, by persons nominated by the Council for this purpose, one of whom shall be a practising midwife.
