Evidence based practice is now widely accepted as a fundamental
tenet of midwifery. The importance of evidence in defining
midwifery policy and practice in the UK health system, and others,
is acknowledged and enduring. While the development and evaluation
of research in midwifery is well charted, the question of how such
evidence is incorporated into practice has, to date, received less
attention and discussion in the midwifery profession. Answering
this need, Evidence Based Midwifery focuses on the dissemination
and use of evidence for midwifery practice, and explores
midwives' experiences in using the evidence base to inform
policy and enhance clinical practice.

Written by a highly-regarded and diverse group from the UK and
international midwifery community, Evidence Based Midwifery
addresses issues of relevance to all midwives whether clinical
practitioners or educators, students or supervisors, researchers or
managers. Issues that influence evidence based midwifery are
discussed, and topics covered include problem based learning,
implementation of evidence based guidelines and the involvement of
service users.

* Edited by founder members of the Evidence Based Midwifery
Network

* International collaboration with contributions from the UK,
Greece, Canada and the Netherlands

* Primary focus on the incorporation of evidence into midwifery
practice
