Within maternity care midwives and consultant obstetricians are
frequently required to collaborate together in an attempt to
provide optimal care for women and their babies. In this way they
are engaging in interprofessional collaboration, a much debated and
increasingly popular policy agenda within health care. However,
despite the growing support for interprofessional collaboration
there is a limited understanding of how patient experiences are
influenced by interprofessional working. This book will shed light
on this issue using insights gained from midwifery clients. The
stories of the women suggest that interprofessional consultation is
complex with instances of subjugation and resistance occurring
simultaneously as differing professional ideologies collide. The
experience of midwifery clients during interprofessional
consultation will be relevant for all those involved in maternity
care, and for academics and professionals who are considering ways
in which policy and practice can strengthen interprofessional
working.
