Dear All,
I am wanting to research women's experiences of knowing their midwife. i
am particularly interested in
'disadvantaged' women's experiences. By this
I mean - asylum seekers,
socio-economically deprived, mentally ill, ethnic
minorities etc.
I
Live in Stroud, Gloucestershire and was wondering if any one knew of
a
caseload practice in the nearby vicinity - bristol, bath,
birmingham,
gloucestershire, wiltshire, shropshire, perhaps dorset and somerset etc....
By caselaod I mean that each woman has a known midwife
who aims to provide
the majority of care for the woman and attend the birth.
The midwife may
work in partnership with another midwife, but there is a high
levelof
continuity of carer...
