Subject: Re: Introduction: clinical research networks.
Dear all
I coordinate the normal birth research list which has an international
membership and which is set up to facilitate discussion about research
issues in the area of normal birth practice and education. I have also been
in discussion with number of people (some are on this list I know!) about
setting up a network of sites where physiological birth is practised, and
within which we can research various aspects of normal birth in its proper
environment. these discussions are slowly moving towards some kind of action
(honest!*) I also coordinate a regional group of clinical midwives who are
undertaking research here in the NW region of the UK, and Tina Lavender, our
reader here, has set up and facilities an active group of clinical midwifery
researchers at Liverpool women hospital, so we have a significant stake in
forging links in these areas.
Could the kind of activity being talked about by Trish and others below be
linked with some of these initiatives? I would be interested to hear the
views of others on the feasibility of developments around these issues.
all the best
Soo

Trish: we should talk some more. Between the two of us we should be able to
get the PBRN going...any thoughts?
