Clinical Effectiveness and Clinical Governance for Midwives

Clinical Effectiveness and Clinical Governance for Midwives

Weston, A., Chambers, R. and Boath, E.2001Radcliffe Medical Press

This is a practical book written specifically for midwives, based on the successful general book, Clinical Effectiveness and Clinical Governance Made Easy.

Requiring no prior knowledge, it provides a straightforward guide to the topics of clinical effectiveness and clinical governance, avoiding jargon but explaining relevant terms in the context of practical midwifery.

The book takes midwife readers from the stage of assessing "where they are now" to framing an enquiry, searching for evidence, reviewing published papers, and applying the resulting evidence in practice.

It describes implementing clinical governance through the practical application of the various components of a quality midwifery service, with numerous relevant examples.
