Excellent reading for this course

Excellent book will be used across the three years of the BSc Midwifery course

A well written and comprehensive text which will raise awareness of the issues in todays society and how this affects the care and professional integrity of the midwife. The text is highly appropriate and is well written especially the issues of consent in the baby and child. I find the Learning Matters texts to be very student centric and and to be well received by the students. They encourage further reading but give the relevant information in an easy to digest and retain process. I like the use of scenario and case study to encourage learning by the students an this will also enable self directed study to become second nature in the mature learner. I do feel this is a text that will also be of significant value to the practicing midwife too, and enables them to maintain their knowledge easily around a sometimes avoided subject.

A good all round book for looking at the legal issues facing contemporay midwifery
