English language (monolingual) [PRO]
Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs / Birth Certificate
English term or phrase: P/M
On an Australian birth certificate in the section called:
Names of witesses present at birth,

Medical practioner: Dr [surname]
Nurse: Sr [surname]
Other witnesses: **P/M** [surname 1], **P/M** [surname 2], Mr [name of father]

I'm wondering whether P/M could be a grade of nurse or hospital admin staff.

It basically could be anything... any ideas please?

neutral  Alexander Demyanov: What would a paramedic do in a delivery room?//I'm not 100% sure about Australia, but in the US paramedics drive/ride in ambulances and mostly provide first aid and deliver paitents to hospitals.
