Abstract
In 1993, Changing Childbirth, the report of the Expert Maternity Group made recommendations to provide continuity of carer, which would improve autonomy of the midwife. It suggested that some midwives would need to carry out some of the duties undertaken by senior house officers and recommend that professional training should be reviewed accordingly. More recently the government has made proposals in its document The National Plan for the New NHS (Department of Health, 2000) to empower appropriately qualified midwives to undertake a wider range of clinical tasks. Acceptance of this role by midwives can only serve to enhance and improve the quality and level of care given to women and their families.
