Hi Kathy

This is the report which i referred to in a previous message to the list

TVU= Thames Valley University. We did a large study of the
implementation of caseload midwifery and a 4 year follow up study. Both
reports are available on our website

www.health.tvu.ac.uk/mid

best wishes

Chris

>>>the final count up on oncall hours versus actual work hours - all in
