Marion Hunter, of Aukland, did an excellent Masters thesis on the
difference between hospital and birth centre practice and drew from
it a list of of "real midwifery" skills that were used in birth centres.
If Marion is on this list she may wish to put it up. Otherwise I
could. I am publishing a book on birth centres next year in which
she has written a chapter.
