The fight to care.

After a long history of standoffs, doctors and midwives have again crossed swords over who should provide care for birthing women in Australia. Allegations by obstetricians of higher infant morality rates in birthing units have been met with howls of derision from midwives, who have sharpened the blades in what promises to be a long battle for the right to birth Australia's babies. Who will benefit? What are the options for Australian women in birthing services?

With knowledge comes innovation, and with innovation: power.

The World Trade Centre in Taipei, Taiwan, was like a city of nurses in May, when nurses from across the globe met to discuss issues affecting their profession. The challenges they discussed were at once similar and different; universal and unique. But whatever the problem, all of nursing's solutions were on show at this meeting. The contributions nurses make to the health of their own, and the global population; the way they appropriate technology; their participation in debates about the philosophy of health and caring; nursing innovations that are improving education and clinical practice; and the involvement of nurses in political debate and their influence on health policy--all were evident in abundance at the International Council of Nursing (ICN) congress where 4,000 nurses from 140 nations gathered to talk about knowledge and innovation in nursing.
