Global competencies for midwives: external cephalic version; ultrasonography, and tobacco cessation intervention.

CONCLUSION: The current evidence of safety of midwives performing external cephalic version led to the recommendation that it be considered in the next document update. Conflicting views of midwives' role in acquiring skills to conduct prenatal ultrasound were evident. There was strong support for participation in smoking cessation counselling, but knowledge of World Health Organization recommendations was not highly endorsed.
