Pre-registration midwifery students
This is an excellent resource for student midwives, especially in their third year. It is a great introduction to professional issues. It is on my module reading list and our library carries hard and e-copies. I usually hand a copy around the group for inspection as the title doesn't seem to convey just how relevant and useful it is.
A very practical easy to read book
Detailed look at the professional behind midwifery practice. Discusses methods and models for communication, alongside the legal aspects of midwifery, safe guarding, mental health, capacity and the ethics of midwifery practice. A great resource for students and midwives alike.
Really useful content for leadership skills
Good chapter content
A useful supplementary text. Easy to access and use
Clear, well written book. Relevant topics included within the book. Chapters, structured to enable easy reading.
useful for students developing leadership skills and also good resource for lecturers
useful for students developing leadership skills as they progress through the course and useful resource for lecturers too
I have found this book very good for myself as a lecturer and will recommend it for the third years to extend their leadership practices however probably a little to advanced for first years.
I felt as a lecturer this was a very good book, and I would recommend it to my students in practice.
A very useful book.
Great addition to reading as a practice educator. Easy to follow and relevant
