Description - Tensions and Barriers in Improving Maternity Care by Ruth Deery
'We have written this book because the story it tells warrants a wide audience. We see the purpose of this book as informing discussion and decision-making around reconfigurations of maternity care so that planning communication management and recruitment can be improved and shared vision articulated and understood.' Throughout the world women-centred care is gaining prominence in providing maternity care. Many birth centres open each year to meet this need - but at the same time many close or are shelved. So why should the turnover in organisations that deliver such a vital service to women be so high thwarting many midwives from practising as they would wish? This carefully researched and passionate book tells the story of a birth centre that did fail and the painful but valuable lessons it presents for others. Many of the issues and behaviours illustrated - lack of leadership support vision and plain-dealing and tensions between bureaucracy and women-centred care - will find resonance in maternity services and midwifery experiences in the UK and throughout the world.
Tensions and Barriers in Improving Maternity Care is a vital and challenging resource for all midwives managers and policy makers and shapers with an interest in maternity and women-centred care.
