Infos

The role of the community midwife differs dramatically from that of
a hospital based practitioner but many midwifes entering this area
of practice may not feel well equipped for this diverse experience.
Community Midwifery Practice is the first text specifically
tailored to meet the needs of community midwives, providing a
practical, skills-based guide to improving and underpinning their
day-to-day practice with an emphasis on 'normal' birth
and the importance of developing relationships with the women they
are charged with helping.

This accessible text includes information on the broad range of
skills required by midwives working in community settings,
providing practical guidance on issues such as supporting women
with HIV/AIDS, issues surrounding domestic abuse, perinatal mental
health, and pelvic girdle pain. Community Midwifery Practice will
provide all midwives who work in community placements with a
comprehensive, accessible tool designed to assist them in all
aspects of their practice.
