Supportive Care and Midwifery

"This book provides a great resource throughout which the uses and misuses of research evidence emerge. The book will be valuable to all students and health care professionals and managers involved in maternity services."

Journal of Advanced Nursing

"A goldmine for students...invaluable to managers. This book is as clever and subversive as Marjorie Tew's Safer Childbirth and it should prove to be as influential."

MIDIRS Midwifery Digest

'If support were a drug it would be unethical not to use it.'

(Klaus et al. 1993)
