Key Features
  • Refines the understanding of ethics within the context of everyday midwifery practice
  • Offers an alternative approach to the ethics of professional practice, reuniting morality and personal interest
  • The aspirations, values and lived reality of mothers and midwives, and the commitment of the midwife to the woman are the focus of a newly constructed ethic for midwifery practice
