The report was informed by two documents, also now available online, Scoping Exercise: Training and Education of Registered Nurses and Unregistered Support Workers in Maternity Services (007 760) and Literature Review: Training and Continuing Professional Development Needs of Registered Nurses and Unregistered Support Workers in Maternity Care (007 761).
