£0.00 / unit

"Expecting the Unexpected: advancing practice in midwifery and nursing".

The Sunday evening drama depicting midwives on bicycles paints a picture of selfless service in the pursuit of improving public health of women and families. Midwives and Nurses are regarded as highly trusted professionals in this and other portrayals of the profession in art and fiction. Yet the reports from Ockenden, Kirkup, Renfrew, and others highlight concerns about safety and care in maternity services dating back more than ten years, where system rationality prevails and the voices of women and families are not being heard.


Professions are defined by having a set of clear skills and knowledge and a governance structure that ensures those who practise are able to fulfil the requirements. The production of new knowledge that can advance the profession is also vital for the profession to evolve. The journey of a career in nursing and midwifery explores the changes that have taken place and those still needed in professions to enable us to continue to hold public trust.
