    Fewer general practitioners (GPs) are pursuing obstetrics diplomas, with future criteria likely limiting their involvement. GPs may shift to antenatal and postnatal care, with midwives managing normal labor and delivery.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Science
    • Public Health
    • Obstetrics and Gynecology

    Background:

    • The landscape of obstetrical care has shifted significantly since the 1960s.
    • Fewer general practitioners (GPs) are obtaining postgraduate diplomas in obstetrics.
    • Increasingly stringent future criteria may further limit GP participation in obstetrics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the changing role of general practitioners in obstetrics.
    • To project future trends in GP involvement in childbirth and antenatal/postnatal care.
    • To identify potential new roles for GPs in obstetrical services.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of historical and current GP involvement in obstetrics.
    • Projection of future trends based on current data and anticipated policy changes.

  • Literature review on the evolving scope of practice for GPs and midwives in obstetrics.

    • Main Results:

    • A decline in GPs obtaining obstetrics diplomas compared to the 1960s.
    • An increasing trend of deliveries occurring in institutional settings (consultant or GP units).
    • Anticipation that few GPs will attend normal labor or delivery within a decade, with midwives taking a primary role.

    Conclusions:

    • The traditional role of GPs in normal labor and delivery is diminishing.
    • GPs are expected to transition towards focusing on antenatal supervision and postnatal care.
    • Future GP responsibilities in obstetrics may include postnatal examinations, cervical smears, and contraception advice.
