- Summary
- Group practice in midwifery enables continuity of care in pregnancy and childbirth and maximizes the use of midwives' specialist skills. Women of childbearing age and their partners have encouraged this move, voicing a need for continuity, choice and control. The government's Expert Maternity Report not only recognizes the value of continuity of care but formally advocates its use.
- This book, edited by a respected and pioneering midwife, provides midwives and managers with the practical information required to shape organizations to meet this need. Whilst encouraging midwives to work in partnership with women and their families, it provides essential information on the importance of evaluating the success of group practice, emphasizing the need to respond to change.
- Effective Group Practice in Midwifery provides an invaluable guide to the very latest developments which are currently occurring in midwifery.
