Books by Ruth Deery

This carefully researched and passionate book tells the story of a birth centre, and the painful but valuable lessons it presents for others. This is a vital and challenging resource for all midwives, managers and policy makers and shapers with an interest in maternity and women-centred care.

The study of sociology is now an essential part of all midwifery training, but it can often seem removed from the reality of midwifery practice.
