Book Synopsis
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.

Trade Review
"Every chapter in itself was well written, informative and covered the topics thoroughly with a good evidence base and some useful practical advice, the different authors brought their own style to their own style to their topics, making the book very readable." (Practising Midwife, January 2009)
