Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose and Scope of the Framework Improvements have been made to maternity care provision following the 1993 Policy Review, Maternity Services in Scotland. These include a range of choices around childbirth, the provision of high quality local services that are acceptable and accessible to women with speedy and seamless access to specialist services when necessary. But there is still considerable scope for further change that reflects a modern maternity service appropriate for the 21st Century. The following broad themes are important: --safety and evidence-based care for mother and baby must remain the foundation of an effective maternity service; --pregnancy and childbirth are normal physiological processes in women's lives; --maternity services must deliver a woman and family-centred approach to care and support planned in partnership with the woman; --maternity services should be essentially community based and midwife managed, wherever possible, with an --emphasis on contin ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first comprehensive international overview of maternity services. Drawing on concepts of risk and social citizenship, it explores the relationship between welfare regimes and health policy by comparing and contrasting provision for childbearing women. Each substantive chapter focuses on a different country, presenting detailed contextual information on health care provision, maternity interventions and birth outcomes there. They discuss key issues such as birth rates and fertility patterns, the role of patient choice, attitudes to place of birth and maternity entitlements among others, and the countries covered represent diverse welfare regimes, including Ireland, Scotland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. An extended introduction and a conclusion draw the book together and place it in the context of the literature on comparative welfare regimes. It is an important reference for students and academics interested in comparative social policy, health services research, and maternity services and policies.

Download or read book Scottish Midwives written by Lindsay Reid and published by John Donald. This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have always been midwives in Scotland although their history has been largely undocumented. The Midwives (Scotland) Act was passed in 1915 and regularised midwifery training and practice. Before this, although some women went through a form of training in midwifery, many women came to the profession by chance or through financial necessity. After the Act, the howdies of old gradually gave way to midwives, enrolled by the new Central Midwives' Board for Scotland. In this oral history, individuals remember an incident, a decade, a career, a lifetime, tracing the development of midwifery in Scotland in the twentieth century from their very own personal perspectives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book helps all those working in maternity services to improve the quality of the care they offer. Improvement is driven by clinical effectiveness and increasing patient demands, and for each area of practice described this book outlines the service organisation needed to achieve this improvement. The goal is to help clinicians take responsibility for developing services that meet the needs of their patients as well as managing their individual medical conditions. The book demonstrates that much can be achieved within current resources and without major additional expense. Different approaches are demonstrated, but the key issue is the patient pathway. Trainees, clinicians, managers and commissioners of services will find this book of practical value. There should be a copy on the shelves of every hospital obstetric unit.

Download or read book Risk and Choice in Maternity Care written by Andrew Symon and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. This book explores the complex interrelationship between risk and choice in maternity care, taking a close look at how "high" and "low" risk are defined and what impact this has on a woman's ability to exercise informed choices throughout pregnancy. It offers an international collaboration that highlights different perspectives on debated issues, with chapters on maternity care in the UK, United States, Australia, and Ireland contributed by midwives, obstetricians, risk management experts, and sociologists. The aim of this book is to illustrate the changing reality of risk management as it relates to maternity care, and to highlight risk management concerns that may limit the choices available to pregnant women. Clarifies how applications of risk affect the choices pregnant women are able to exercise. Locates pregnancy risk considerations within the overall scheme of risk management. Analyzes practitioners' responses to the requirements of risk management. Presents risk management and choice from the risk manager's perspective, providing an understanding of risk as a "macro concept" in health care. Highlights medico-legal opinions on exercising choice, underscoring the need for accurate information and the ability to make informed decisions. Two chapters examine women's perspectives on risk labeling and the impact this has on choice - one in which the concept of safety within maternity care is discussed, and one in which the views of women with defined risk factors are explored and their ability to make choices is evaluated. Two chapters written by health service risk managers discuss the differences between an inner-city approach and a rural approach to the debate surrounding risk and choice. Discusses midwifery's focus on "normality" in childbirth and considers how this viewpoint affects the risk dialogue, including a chapter on clinical trends in maternity care. An obstetric perspective on risk refutes criticisms of obstetricians as being more likely to impose risk labels and limit choices by discussing how risks and choices are presented and considered within obstetric care. Explores the debate surrounding a woman's right to have a home birth in Ireland, in light of its risk management climate. Two chapters discuss the collaboration between service users, midwives, and obstetricians in Australia regarding the organization and delivery of maternity care, as well as the views concerning risk among indigenous Australians. Perspectives from nurse-midwives in the U.S. discuss the complex relationships among nurse-midwives, obstetricians, and pregnant women with regard to choice, including views on risk within immigrant communities.
