Скачать или смотреть Episode 77 - The place of policy in birth

Stick with us as we explore how hospitals are organised, why policies are created, and how they impact the care provided to women. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding hospital structures and policies in order to navigate and advocate for personalised care. We discuss the role of policies in healthcare and how they impact the care provided to women during childbirth. We explore the concept of cookbook medicine or ‘birth by numbers’ and the limitations of strict guidelines in allowing for individualised care. Kirsten also gives us insight into her recent publication, ‘Midwives Must, Obstetricians May’ https://www.birthsmalltalk.com
