Regulation

Dr. Morgan’s main area of expertise is health policy, particularly as it relates to reproductive health care and contraception, delivered by interdisciplinary teams, often in rural, remote, and northern settings. These are termed ‘low-resource’ settings due to the difficulties designing and staffing sustainable models of care. These settings exist throughout Canada and globally and require creative solutions and flexibility to realise their goals of universal accessibility.

Equanimity Midwifery Consulting can provide guidance on regulatory issues including scopes of practice, compensation and funding models, health care system design and function, models of care i.e., employee versus independent contractor, competency construction and updates, and meaningful stakeholder involvement.

Building the capacity

What is our Mission?

Informed by 25 years as a midwife and educator, our mission is to build the midwifery capacity of educational institutions, health care organizations, and governments through strategic planning, stakeholder consultation, analysis, health policy, and program delivery.

Our Values

Through strong leadership and experience, our services help clients develop a responsive midwifery workforce that can contribute to the well-being of society.

Our services advocate for reproductive choice, delivered with respect, dignity, and autonomy. Social justice, equity, and safety remain at the forefront.

With expertise in health policy, education, regulation, and accreditation, I advise governments, educational institutions, associations, regulators, and health care organisations to optimize the delivery of midwifery services.

I have experience designing educational offerings, managing global health projects, and researching topics important to reproductive healthcare.
