They will stimulate debate and require the reader both to reflect on their current practice, local policies and procedures and to challenge care that is not woman centred. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere are many dimensions to the provision of woman-centred care that practitioners need to consider and understand so the series is based on the principles of holistic care, using a ‘jigsaw’ model as a framework. Each aspect of the jigsaw should be considered during the assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of woman-centred maternity care, for example:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehow does a midwife obtain consent from a woman for a procedure, maintain a safe environment during the delivery of care and make the most of the opportunity to promote health? \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewhat are the professional and legal issues in relation to the procedure and is this practice based on the best available evidence? \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewhich members of the multi-professional team contribute to this aspect of care and how is it influenced by the way in which care is organised?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eSeries features:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides information essential for best practice at all stages of pregnancy and birth \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e‘Jigsaw’ model promotes holistic care\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScenarios help readers understand the context of maternity care\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActivities encourage further exploration and debate.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Health Sciences","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126412230896,"sku":"9780702042546","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780702042546_p0.jpg?v=1763621456","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780702042546","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
