Reviews

Helen Meehan (School of Health Sciences (UEA))

This is an excellent resource for student midwives, especially in their third year. It is a great introduction to professional issues. It is on my module reading list and our library carries hard and e-copies. I usually hand a copy around the group for inspection as the title doesn't seem to convey just how relevant and useful it is.

Detailed look at the professional behind midwifery practice. Discusses methods and models for communication, alongside the legal aspects of midwifery, safe guarding, mental health, capacity and the ethics of midwifery practice. A great resource for students and midwives alike.
