In practices where several practitioners work together, whatever their legal status, the practice of midwifery must remain personal. Each practitioner retains his or her professional independence. The patient’s free choice of midwife must be respected.
Midwives may use documents on the common letterhead of the association or practice group of which they are a member. The signatory must be identifiable and her address must be given.
In midwifery associations and group practices, any practice of competition or any payment, acceptance or sharing of sums of money between practitioners is prohibited, subject to the specific provisions relating to the practice of a company.
