  • Title: Using support workers to release time for qualified midwives in maternity care.
    Author: Brown M, Lees S, Law S, Mills N, McCalmont C.
    Journal: Nurs Times; ; 106(43):22-4. PubMed ID: 21155500.
    Abstract:
    Maternity services must meet the demands of an increasingly diverse and rapidly growing population. Recent policy changes mean midwives are taking on roles formerly performed by doctors, leaving maternity support workers to undertake many traditional midwifery tasks. This article discusses how MSWs can facilitate choice by helping midwives deliver a flexible, personalised service to childbearing women and how the MSW role has developed.
