Already use the 3rd editionExcellent updated information ... Seminal text for students ... Excellent [scope] as always. - Jane Harris, Deputy Head of Midwifery, University of Chester. Essential reading in introductory year and final year for professional/legal understanding of professional practice - Patricia Walker, Senior Lecturer in Midwifery and Child Care, Canterbury Christ Church University. This is an excellent resource for student and practicing midwives in Britain.This interesting book does a nice job initially outlining the patient's rights, an area that is important to any audience, then covering litigation and statutory provisions, as well as special circumstances. The author does a nice job of breaking down the content under appropriate headings, which enhances the readability for students or professionals.While this book does not reflect the laws of the U.S. or other countries, it would be a nice addition to a midwife's library because the information reflects best practices in delivering midwifery care. Because the statutes and laws are so specific, this would be an essential book for midwives practicing in Britain. The material is technical, but the author explains it in a way that is easy to read and understand. - 4 star review by Michele R Davidson, PhD, CNM, CFN (George Mason University College of Health and Human Services on Doodys Enterprises,Inc, USA Book Review Service
