Dear Marianne
Our overall DH maternity policy documents are here which set out the framework for how care should be organised, and to NICE clinical guidelines which lay out the content of care, and where the evidence gaps are. The DH policy framework and NICE guidelines are developed by a multi-disciplinary process including user organisations and apply to all professionals.

The intrapartum NICE guideline has a list in the appendix which indicates which women would be advised to give birth in an obstetric unit
Maternity matters framework is here

Subject: shared care and curriculum
Dear all,
I am looking for a document in which collaboration between midwives and specialists in obstetric care is written down. Hopefully there is something written about shared care and law and criteria for risk selection and indications for care by a specialist or midwife.
In Holland we have such a list but it does not say anything about shared care; it divides the pregnant women and their care in low and high risk.
We slowly move to a different health care system in which shared care is an important topic. Therefore we need criteria to underpin obstetric management in different situations and relate that to the curriculum and training of midwives.
As I know in Sweden, Canada, England, New Zealand midwives work in different organisations of care. It would be very helpful if you could send me important articles or documents.
Thank you very much,
