Description
Amity Reed's personal story is a stark reflection of the challenges faced by midwives in the NHS. The reality of working in over-stretched and underfunded maternity services shattered her illusions, and she's not alone. The profession is plagued by high turnover rates, with 29 out of 30 midwives who train leaving the job. Reed's experiences are woven into a clear-sighted examination of what is working and what isn't in maternity services. Real-life stories capture the moments at the heart of midwifery, from life and death to birth and tragedy. This book asks questions about the workplace and its systems, and seeks to answer them, in the hope of finding solutions to the problems faced by those who work in healthcare. The result is a book that explores the complexities of midwifery, and the ways in which the NHS can be improved.
