Review
This handbook in an invaluable resource for students of midwifery and for practising midwifes. It reflects the continuum of midwifery care, with information from the preconception period through to that following childbirth... This book is a good source of reference. It is attractively small and can be carried around for quick reference. (Journal of Advanced Nursing )
The absolute must have for midwifery training. Thank goodness for this book! (A reviewer on Amazon.co.uk )
This book is a pocket sized guide to midwifery practice! Thorough and covering practically every topic encountered this book is a must-have for all student midwives. Written by Midwives this book offers an in depth guide to practice from a midwifery perspective... An essential, one you will want to have your own copy of. If you buy one book, make it this one! (A reviewer on Amazon.co.uk )
The team of contributing authors has given clear guides to essential emergencies alongside evidence-based information on a number of topics. Each part is clearly indexed for quick access, useful in a clinical environment... It is a comprehensive text for reference and as a resource of core information it will be useful to student midwives ... I believe it will aid student midwives and will be recommending it as a resource tool. (S. M. Davis, Senior Lecturer )
This is a welcomed addition to the midwifery literature and a resource which is likely to become part and parcel of the midwife's "bag of tools". I commend this work to the profession and trust that it will aid midwives and other healthcare professionals in meeting the demands and challenges of health service provision in the 21st century. (From the Foreword by Professor Paul Lewis, Academic Head of Midwifery & Child Health, Bournemouth University, UK ) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
Fully revised and updated to include the most up-to-date guidelines, references and resources, this new edition of the bestselling Oxford Handbook of Midwifery provides a concise and logical approach to midwifery practice in all its varied care settings. Giving a complete picture of the role of the midwife, the handbook reflects the mother's journey through conception, pregnancy and birth to the final postnatal examination of mother and baby. This new edition includes recent advances in midwifery practice including developments in antenatal care, labour, postnatal care and infant feeding. The content is systematically structured to enable quick navigation and ensure the relevant information is at your fingertips whenever you need it. The handbook covers the vast majority of situations encountered in the many broad and varied settings of midwifery practice, from the normal, low-risk care of the mother and neonate, through to the more complex areas of working alongside obstetric or paediatric colleagues in high-risk pregnancy and birth situations. It provides all the information you will need to assist you when participating in complex care with confidence. With a wealth of references, recommendations, and guidance from the authors' many years of experience this handbook will help you achieve the best possible results for your patients. The fundamentals of midwifery are divided into seven main sections, covering antenatal care; normal labour and birth; complicated labour and birth; postnatal care; family planning; care of the newborn; and infant feeding. It also gives information rarely covered in standard midwifery texts, including sexual health, complementary therapies, common blood values, investigations, and midwifery emergencies. Key interventions are laid out as algorithms to aid quick assimilation of the crucial facts. Written by practising midwives, and checked by subject experts, you can trust this handbook to have the latest and best information you need. Presented in concise and easily readable style, the book is laid out with clear headings, and key facts listed in bullet points. Pocket-sized, with sturdy plastic covers, the Oxford Handbook of Midwifery is a unique and invaluable companion for students, practising midwives, educators, and anyone who needs to understand the challenging and rewarding work of midwifery.

This is a brilliant book!
I am a second year midwifery student and am currently using it whilst out in practice to look up what tests the woman can be offered at various points in her pregnancy. Everything I am to be assessed on is in here from antenatal to postnatal including complications as well as the 'normal'. It even covers contraception, breastfeeding and parent education.
I have dozens of midwifery books but can honestly say that this is the best one I own. I highly recommend it to both midwives and students.

Always handy & concise
A really handy, concise guide that's good to have in a pocket or handbag for referral. Only criticism is that there's no real depth but what can you expect for a handy size guide.
