MIDWIFERY LEADERSHIP & POLICY

5 Talks

Currently maternity services across the United Kingdom are in a period of change. Maternity Transformation policy has been developed as a result of some concerns about failings in services and to ensure they meet the changing needs of women. The aim of this box set is to provide information about the different reviews undertaken in England, Scotland and Wales and how they will impact on maternity care. We recommend following up this box set set by exploring our box set on Maternity Transformation that addresses how these policies are being enacted in practice.

Dr Mary Ross-Davie, Country Director Scotland, RCM, explores some of the questions that have been raised by midwives about the implementation of Best Start. (She also points out this is relevant for midwives from other countries.)
