The importance of education in preparing women for childbirth

Hollins Martin, Caroline J.

Abstract

This special edition offers unique insight into concepts of education within midwifery practice. One of the aims of delivering midwifery education is to advance the evidence-base and improve the quality of maternity care provided by midwives. In addition, childbearing women require accurate, accessible, evidence-based information from which to make decisions about their care. Pivotal to this approach is providing accurate information on which midwives can base their clinical decisions.
