Best Practice in Labour and Delivery

The focus of the third edition of Best Practice in Labour and Delivery is on improvement of technical and non-technical skills, multidisciplinary team working, high quality training and audit with the goal of improving safety and quality of intrapartum care. The editor and authors from a range of international backgrounds have decades of hands-on experience in managing high risk labour wards and promoting both multidisciplinary working and high-quality training. The latest evidence from the Cochrane library and the WHO, NICE and RCOG guidelines have been incorporated into chapters spanning the stages of labour and delivery and the complications that may arise. Chapters also provide practical advice on risk management, triage and prioritisation, and non-technical skills such as leadership and decision making. The well-illustrated book is an essential read for practicing obstetricians, trainees, midwives, neonatologists, anaesthetists and obstetric physicians.
