Contract Review.
Your contract is one your most crucial documents - and one of the most important practice investments a private midwife will ever make.
Our professional guidelines, codes, policies, statements and laws are all separate from contract law - and what may be perfectly compliant from a professional sense, may not be compliant under contract law. And that can leave you - and women - exposed.
Your contract protects you and women - when structured adequately and appropriately. It is what sets our the terms and conditions that allow you to be paid - and without it, there is no business!
In our contract review service, we:
Review your contract and give you feedback and specific midwifery business advice (not legal advice) on things to consider in view of the intersection between consumer law and professional standards - real-life practical considerations
Help you to ensure that your contract meets both contract/consumer law and professional standards
Help you to structure your contract if you’re new to private practice, or have been working without one so far
Help you strengthen an existing contract
Outline some of the tips, traps, things that can go awry and things to be mindful of - so that you can take considered thought about the contract of your contract
This is not legal advice - but midwifery business advice drawing from over 20 years in private practice, running businesses in multiple industries, regulatory experience and Masters-level business law study.
