Synopsis

In an age where information is increasingly abundant and sometimes overwhelming, it can be difficult to keep up-to-date with current thinking. This second volume of Midwifery: Best Practice provides a solution to this information overload by presenting essential discussions in an easy-to-read, accessible format. Edited by a well-known and respected lecturer in midwifery and published in association with The Practising Midwife and Midwifery ― two leading midwifery journals ― this unique compilation provides a wide range of articles, research, and stories covering topics from pregnancy to postnatal experiences. Presenting a succinct review of key issues within the profession, this user-friendly, practical, and convenient reference offers a broad selection of contributions that establish best practice and current thinking in midwifery.

• Concentrates on issues surrounding pregnancy and birth, including domestic violence and risk ― two topical and sensitive issues within the profession and of interest to every midwife.
• Provides easy-to-access information on the latest subjects relevant to midwifery.
• Challenges existing ways of thinking, raises totally new ideas for consideration, and stimulates learning, debate and reflection.
• Includes articles and papers that contain the best ideas, information, and evidence to inform midwifery practice.
• Presents a page of questions in each section that can be used for group discussions or personal reflection on the issues raised.
• Groups articles into nine sections that include an introduction and a summary with ideas for turning reading into professional development activities.
