Essential Guide for Student Midwives
Quay books, Jan 2008, Pages: 210
A much welcomed, balancing, practical and insightful resource has finally arrived. This is a unique book and valuable guide for students as it not only provides essential information for them but also gives an honest, personalised and critical reflection of midwifery experiences across the UK.
This work is organised to cover the key themes of education, regulation, evidence and practice, as well as tracing political, social and cultural constructs that have hindered and helped the scope and sphere of practice. A refreshing inclusion is a number of chapters to raise the feminist and political consciousness amongst students during their formative years in the profession.
Increasingly, maternity services are responsive to divergent, political and policy agendas across the four UK countries and so are transforming to include a variety of providers and path-finder models. The resultant challenges and conflicts for midwives and the dilemmas these pose have been explored effectively by the contributors to this book.
Mindful of its key readership, the editors have included ‘activity boxes’ at the end of each chapter to stimulate reflection and creative thinking and so further challenge enquiring minds. The inclusion of useful website sources of evidence, model templates, and the application of key legislation to the role of the midwife are welcome additions to the student toolbox.
The influence of early key role models and inspirational mentors in shaping midwifery practice and the value of professional networks sustaining it are well articulated in its pages. For this alone, the book is essential reading for all student midwives.
