Abstract:
The aims of a new service need to be clarified and agreed to avoid disappointment both for midwives and the women they are caring for. Midwives have different views, expectations and priorities, which may be determined by their previous experience. Providing continuity of care to mixed caseloads is complicated to organise, as women with complications need more time and different skills. The success of any service that aims to provide women with care from a small group of midwives depends on adequate staffing and resourcing.
