Declan,
It would be very helpful, if you could summarise the information that you
get and post it onto these three lists.
Best wishes

Subject: Midwifery led units
> Hello all,
>
> I am writing a proposal for the implementation and evaluation of pilot
> provision of midwifery led services in a health board region in Ireland.
> Currently, there are no midwifery-led service provision in Ireland other
than
> that provided by independent midwives so this is a very important step
toward
> the provision of midwifery-led care in Ireland.
>
> The proposal needs to clearly set out a plan of action, within the context
of
> a doctoral study, in order to:
>
> 1. Plan the implementation of the pilot units (approx 2) and compile
outline
> policies and procedures.
> 2. Visiting and assessing the progress of the new units, documenting
problems
> that arise, sourcing the literature in relation to those problems and
> providing information and support where appropriate.
> 3. Continuous auditing and monitoring the safety of all participants in
the
> project.
> 4. Evaluating the project using appropriate research methodology
>
> I would be grateful if any list member has or knows someone who has been
> involved in a similiar project in the UK or elsewhere and for any thoughts
> members have regarding framing with a doctoral study and appropriate
> methodology (perhaps multi-methods with and action research framework?).
In
> particular, I am keen to hear of any published or unpublished literature
> surrounding such a project.
