Bibliography and Further Reading
ENDORSEMENTS
“An excellent guide to obstetric emergencies. The cards are really useful and illustrate the management of each type of emergency a responder may encounter. ”
Mandy Forrester, Head of Quality and Standards, The Royal College of Midwives“Within this book is an exceptional level of detail of how the physiology of a woman’s body changes during pregnancy. By having a clear understanding of these differences and applying this knowledge when managing women at all stages of pregnancy, attending responders are highly likely to help save lives in the community. This isn’t only a book, it is a practical, efficient tool to help you deliver safe maternity care.”
Mr Edward Morris MD FRCOG, Vice President, Clinical Quality, Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists
