Midwives are moving away from fragmented systems of care towards group practice, a system which encourages the use of their skills and realizes their full potential. The government's "Expert Maternity Report" not only recognizes the value of continuity of care, but formally advocates its use. This book provides midwives and managers with the practical information required to shape organizations to meet this need, encourages midwives to work in partnership with women and their families, and evaluates the success of group practice, emphasizing the need to respond to change.
