Abstract:
Aims to determine the extent to which women suitable for community-based antenatal and intrapartum care will require hospital contact. Reports on an historical cohort study of low risk women who underwent standard shared care and for whom the records for both pregnancy and delivery were complete at The City Hospital and University Hospital, Nottingham. Concludes that the shift to community-based care aims to bring many improvements to the overall care and satisfaction of pregnant women. However, it may not reduce the workload of hospital-based services to a great extent as the majority of women, even if low risk at booking, will require some hospital input at some time during pregnancy or labour.
