They have been written in response to many requests from students, midwives and supervisors to combine these articles into a handy text. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe books remain true to the style of the articles and have been updated and expanded to create a user-friendly source of information on different aspects of midwifery care. 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 \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\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Health Sciences","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126409773296,"sku":"9780702042553","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780702042553_p0.jpg?v=1763615722","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780702042553","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
