Environmental awareness and sustainability are vitally important
concepts in the twenty first century and, as a low environmental
impact healthcare profession, midwifery has the potential to stand
as a model of excellence.
This innovative volume promotes a sustainable approach to
midwifery practice, philosophy, business administration and
resource management. Drawing on an interdisciplinary body of
knowledge, this international collection of experts explores the
challenges, inviting readers to critically reflect on the issues
and consider how they could move to effect changes within their own
working environments. Divided into three parts, the book
discusses:
- The politics of midwifery and sustainability
- Midwifery as a sustainable healthcare practice
- Supporting an ecological approach to parenting.
Sustainability, Midwifery and Birth identifies existing models
of sustainable midwifery practice, such as the continuity of care
model, and highlights the potential for midwifery as a role model
for ecologically sound health care provision. This unique book is a
vital read for all midwives and midwifery students interested in
sustainable practice. Contributors include: Sally Baddock, Carol
Bartle, Ruth Deery, Nadine Pilley Edwards, Ina May Gaskin, Megan
Gibbons, Carolyn Hastie, Mary Kensington, Mavis Kirkham, Nicky
Leap, Ruth Martis, Zoe Meleo-Erwin, Jenny Meyer, Jo Murphy-Lawless,
Mary Nolan, Sally Pairman and Sally Tracy.
