Description
Law and Ethics for Midwifery provides essential guidance for student midwives navigating complex ethical and legal dilemmas in clinical practice. Written by an experienced midwifery lecturer, this practical resource draws on real-life case studies to help students prepare for the challenges they may face as midwives. The book is structured around key areas of concern, including accountability, autonomy, and advocacy, with a focus on core concepts such as negligence, safeguarding, and record-keeping. Each chapter includes case studies, relevant legislation, reflective activities, and summaries, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding the intersection of law and ethics in midwifery practice. By grounding its content in real-world scenarios, Law and Ethics for Midwifery enables student midwives to develop the skills and knowledge needed to make informed decisions in high-pressure situations.
