Product Description

Product Description

Being a midwife today requires not only good clinical skills but also a broad understanding of the social and emotional adaptation to birth, which a woman must go through. A midwife must be clinically skilled and able to bring "woman-centred" practice to life. This book explores all the issues, which a midwife may experience in applying her practical knowledge with sensitivity towards every individual woman's care, before, during and after birth. Building on the changes, which have occurred in midwifery in the past decade, "The New Midwifery" describes approaches to practice, which have now been drawn from experience, underpinned by theory and biological sciences. It will help midwives to build sensitive and supportive relationships, develop openness to individual needs, and be able to use science as a basis to practice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Practical advice on moving midwifery practice forward, 30 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This book contains excellent advice on how to bring the practice of midwifery forward in line with the recommendations from, in particular, the Changing Childbirth report. Chapters on how to apply evidence based pratice, how to provide woman centred care and other key themes talk in more detail about how these sorts of changes can be brought about in a practical way. I would recommend this book to any midwives are looking for advice on how to provide more woman centred care and any students who wish to see how the theory can be applied to individual cases.
