Hi Jen,
That's the thing isn't it - obstructive behaviour which has continued to
pull us down for years and restrict positive progress.
I wonder whether the little book from Sheffield Teaching Hospitals on
evidenced based guidelines for midwifery led care in labour may be useful to
you. I am working this afternoon so will peruse your attachement then and
get back to you.
Regards Nola
