Product Description

Product Description
Recognised by many as the leading international textbook for midwives, Myles Textbook for Midwives returns in its 14th edition. This edition has been revised by new editors Diane Fraser and Maggie Cooper who are regarded as being at the forefront of the profession. They have recruited a number of new contributors to ensure that this edition is completely up to date with current thought and practice.

In keeping with the accent on teamwork in today's maternity services, there are more contributions from other members of the healthcare team, as well as a mother's perspective on the use of technology within pregnancy and childbirth. The focus is on the provision of woman-centred, midwife-friendly care.
