The book looks at a broad perspective of decision making and each
chapter focuses on a specific aspect related to making crucial
decisions. Following an initial introduction the book explores the
concept of autonomy and the many factors that influence autonomous
practise. The role of knowledge in decision making, using evidence
to inform decisions, as well as different approaches to decision
making are also examined - including the traditional or rational
approach, decision analysis and the development of professional
judgement. Dilemmas arise when decisions are made and therefore
ethical decision making is an important component of this book.
Management decisions may be different from those related to giving
specific care to women, hence one chapter focuses on making
management decisions. Emphasis is also placed on the role of the
midwife in helping women make their own decisions, the role of
reflection in enhancing the decisions midwives make and the support
midwives can receive from their Supervisor of Midwives. Flowcharts
explain and facilitate the decision-making process. A very
practical approach to decision-making in midwifery, with
contributions from midwives who have considerable experience in
this area Provides guidelines on how to achieve successful
autonomous midwifery practice, enabling theory to be effectively
applied to practice Includes coverage of management roles and
decision-making as well as clinical scenarios, offering frameworks
and flowcharts to guide the inexperienced Suggests different
approaches to making difficult decisions
'Advancing Skills in Midwifery Practice' provides a guide to
continuing professional development needs and meeting the latest
Post-Registration Education and Practice (PREP) requirements. This
book builds on 'Skills for Midwifery Practice' by Ruth Johnson and
Wendy Taylor, following a similar format already familiar to many
midwives. Although aimed primarily at midwives, the principles and
philosophy also apply across interprofessional boundaries. Grounded
in safe practice and on contemporary evidence, this book ensures
that the health and wellbeing of the mother, baby and family remain
at the forefront of care. Lists underpinning practices and
guidelines Rationale, including indications and contraindications
of when the skill should be undertaken Procedure: how the skill is
performed, evaluated and documented Professional responsibilities
