Student reviews (Amazon):
‘I've used the book for every assignment in my training and am sure I will continue to dip into the book when qualified. Its clearly written and easy to understand. Broken down into short sections with good headings. Useful diagrams.’
‘Excellent layout. clear and concise chapters. Aimed at the non-qualified and supportive in its aim to produce confident academic and practical midwives. A must for the first year student, a bible for the future.’
‘I'm studying Midwifery and did the usual thing of debating between this and Mayes. I opted for this as it's known as the easier read, has a free e-book with it, and it's hardback so more durable when getting bashed about in my bag.’
‘This is an excellent book. If you are about to enter the world of midwifery/are currently studying then this is well worth buying. It is well illustrated and a wealth of information.’
‘I am currently studying an access to HE course and this book is a must have. I love the evolve learning resources which test your knowledge of the book by using questions and images. It has broadened my perspective of Midwifery, which makes me want to pursue it even more. The numerous images help you to gain a greater understanding about the many topics this book covers. It has been very useful at college and I know it will continue while I am at university.’
‘A must for all student and qualified midwives. Comprehensive, information packed and essential reading. I have referenced this book on many occasions through my course due to it's fantastic content.’
‘I have found myself looking at this book again and again already (in my first year). I decided on this as I had an older copy of Mayes and I was happy to go with whichever was the latest version. So far, so good, lots of detail and covers most areas at the level you need as a first year. I imagine it will be a text I will continue to refer back to throughout my course.’
